What is the standard time for this task if the employee worked at a 50 percent faster pace than average, and an allowance of 10 percent of the workday is used?
You are given the following information
(a) Develop the mean observed time for each element.(b) Calculate the normal time for each element.(c) Using an allowance factor of 15 percent of job time, calculatethe standard time for each element and for the entire job.(d) How many units should be completed each hour if theworker performs at 100 percent of the standard?(e) How many units should be completed each hour if theworker performs at 110 percent of the standard?
Estimate the number of repetitions each of the workers listed in the following table will require to achieve a standard time of 25 minutes per repetition. Time is in minutes.
