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.
A Methods and Measurements Analyst needs to develop a time standard for a certain task. The task involves use of a ruler, square, and portable electric saw to mark and cut the "notch" in a rafter (a standard carpentry task of home construction). In a preliminary study, he observed one of his workers performing this task five times. The observations were made in an air-conditioned, well-lit training facility, at ground level, with all tools and equipment clean and readily available.

a. What is the actual average time for this task?
b. What is the normal time for this task if the employee worked at a 20% faster pace than is typical for adequately trained workers?
c. What is standard time for this task if allowances sum to 14%?
d. If the analyst then thought more carefully about his experiment and decided that the allowances needed to be increased to match the real (outside, not air-conditioned)…
From a time study, the worker’s average observed time for a particular task is shown to be 5.6 minutes. The analyst feels the worker was performing their task, on average, about 25% faster than normal. What would be the resulting standard time assuming a 20% allowance for fatigue and personal needs?
