The jobrequires a packager to place 20 diskettes in a rectangularplastic bag, close the bag with a twist tie, and place thefilled bag into a bin, which is replaced by another workerwhen it is filled. The job can be broken into four basic
elements. The elemental times (in minutes) were ob-tained from the time study for 10 job cycles shown in the
following table.
a. Using an allowance factor of 16%, determine the stan-dard time for this job.
b. Determine the number of cycles for this time studysuch that the company would be 95% confident that theaverage time from the time study is within 4% of thetrue average cycle time.
