The normal time for a work cycle in a worker–machine system is 6.27 min. For setting the standard time, the PFD allowance factor is 12% and the machine allowance factor is 25%.The work cycle includes manual elements totaling a normal time of 5.92 min, all but 0.65 min of which are performed as internal elements. Determine (a) the standard time for the cycle and (b) the daily output at standard performance. (c) During an 8-hour shift, theworker lost 39 min due to personal time, rest breaks, and delays, and she produced 72 pieces. What was the worker’s pace on the operator-controlled portion of the shift?

- Data Products, Inc., packages and distributes a variety ofpersonal computer-related products. A time study hasbeen conducted for a job packaging 3.5-inch personalcomputer diskettes for shipment to customers. 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.arrow_forwardThe work cycle in a worker–machine system consists of (1) external manual work elements with a total normal time of 0.42 min, (2) a machine cycle with a machine time of 1.12 min, and (3) internal manual elements with a total normal time of 1.04 min.

An employee of a fast food chain has to arrive at work 15 minutes early to change into the“mascot” costume and it typically takes another 15 minutes at the end of the shift to change outof the costume and properly store it. Due to the cost of the costume, employees are notallowed to take the costume home. The “mascots” typically work from 10am – 2pm, to coverthe lunch rush periods. How much time would be “compensable” for the mascots, assumingthe conditions/schedule listed above?2) George is a Radiology Technician at a local hospital and when on call, is required to be nofurther than 30 minutes away from the facility.
