Question
Chapter 7, Problem 8P
Summary Introduction
To determine: The standard time for the operation.
Introduction: The amount of the dependency on human effort by an organization in terms of achieving its goals is given by the work design. It is directly linked to the productivity of an organization where good work design helps in achieving high productivity.

An analyst has timed a metal cutting operation for 60 bikes. The average time per cycle was 10.30 minutes, and the standard deviation was 1:20 minutes for a worker with a performance rating of 120 percent. Assume an allowance of 16 percent of job time. Find the standard time for this operation.
A worker-machine operation was found to involve 3.3 minutes of machine time per cycle in the course of 40 cycles of stopwatch study. The worker's time-averaged 1.9 minutes per cycle, and the worker was given a rating of 120% (machine rating is 100%). Midway through the study, the worker took a 10-minute rest break. Assuming an allowance factor of 12% of work time, determine the standard time for this job. Hints: you should consider both machine time and machine time together. Also, Allowance only applies to the man, not a machine.
The time study of a work operation at a restaurant yielded an observed time of 4 minutes. The analysis rated the observed worker at 85%. This means the worker performed at 85% of normal when the study was made. The firm uses a 13% allowance factor. The restaurant wants to compute the normal time and the standard time for this operation;
