The progress of all trainees is tracked, and those not showing the proper progress are moved to less demanding programs. By the tenth repetition, trainees must be able to complete the assembly task in 1 hour or less. Susan has just spent 5 hours on the fourth unit and 4.5 hours completing her eighth unit, while another trainee, Julie took 4 hours on the third and 2.8 hours on the sixth unit. Should you encourage either or both of the trainees to continue? Why? Present calculation steps.

V. Clark. This company manufactured a line of wooden toys. One part of the process involved spray painting partially assembled toys, after which the toys were hung on moving hooks that carried them through a drying oven. The operation, staffed entirely by women, was plagued with absenteeism, high turnover, and low morale. Each woman at her paint booth would take a toy from the tray beside her, position it in a fixture, and spray on the color according to the required pattern. She then would release the toy and hang it on the conveyor hook. The rate at which the hooks moved had been calculated so that each woman, once fully trained, would be able to hang a painted toy on each hook before it passed beyond her reach. The women who worked in the paint room were on a group incentive plan that tied their earnings to the…arrow_forward
