a)
To read: The two digit number for days in column 5.
Introduction: The amount of the dependency on human effort by an organization, in terms of achieving its goals is given by the work design. It is directly linked to the productivity of an organization, where a good work design helps in achieving high productivity.
b)
To determine: The hours from row 1, using its first digit.
Introduction: The amount of the dependency on human effort by an organization, in terms of achieving its goals is given by the work design. It is directly linked to the productivity of an organization, where a good work design helps in achieving high productivity.
c)
To determine: The minutes reading in the last two digits going down in column 6 and then repeating them, taking the first two digits and then making a chronological arrangement of days, hours and minutes.

- Prepare a run diagram for this emergency call data. Use five-minute intervals (i.e., count the calls received in each five-minute interval. Use intervals of 0 to 4, 5 to 9, etc.). Note: Two or more calls may occur in the same minute; there were three operators on duty this night. What can you conclude from the run chart?arrow_forwardWhat is the answer of this question ?arrow_forwardAn analyst has been asked to prepare an estimate of the proportion of time that a turret lathe operator spends adjusting the machine, with 90% confidence level. Based on previous experience, the analyst believes the proportion will be approximately 30%. a. If the analyst uses sample size of 400 observations, what is the maximum error that will be associated with the estimate? b. What sample size would the analyst need in order to have the maximum error be no more than +/- 5%?arrow_forward
- 24. The Left and Right Hand chart which shows the movements of the left and the right hand is also called Operator Process Chart Operations Process Chart Clerical Process Chart O Worker Process Chartarrow_forwardAn analyst made 30 observations over 15 minutes during which 12 units where produced. For 9 observations, the worker was seen working. Compute for the observed time.arrow_forwardK Claudine Soosay recorded the following times assembling a watch: Observation No. 1234567co 8 Time (minutes) 0.12 0.10 0.11 0.11 0.15 0.10 0.10 0.10 Observation No. 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 Time (minutes) 0.11 0.08 0.11 0.10 0.10 0.11 0.14 0.08arrow_forward
- Compare stopwatch time study and work sampling.arrow_forward4. In a restaurant, a customer was asked about his level of satisfaction about their service. What type of data was being gathered? a. nominal C. interval b. ordinal d. ratioarrow_forwardWhat would typically happen if an abnormally short time was recorded when conducting a stopwatch time study? a) It would be included in the study. b) It would be discarded. c) It would be factored by the performance rating. d) Inform the supervisor of the abnormality.arrow_forward
- 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. Observation: 1 2 3 4 5 Task time (seconds): 82 74 80 83 76 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)…arrow_forwardThe normal time for the overall process ____? minutes (round your response to two decimat places) The standard time for this process ____? minutes (round your response to two decimal places) The number of observations that are required for a 99% confidence level within 5 % accuracy ____? observations (round your response to the immediate higher whole number)arrow_forwardWhy is it necessary to include units when reportingscientific measurements?arrow_forward
