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.

- How reliable is the result of work sampling activity in determining working time and idle time of the operator?arrow_forwardPrepare 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 0-4, 5-9, 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?

- What 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_forward24.

- 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 88 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 10% faster pace than is typical for adequately trained workers? (c) What is standard time for this task if allowances sum to 12%?
