local market research fim has just won a contract for several thousand small projects involving
data gathering and statistical analysis. In the past, the firm has assigned each project to a single member of its highly trained professional staff. This person would both gather and analyze the data Using this approach, an experienced person can complete an average of 10 such projects in an eight-hour day. The firm's management is thinking of assigning two people to each project in order to allow them to specialize and become more efficient The process would require the data gatherer to fill out a matrix on the computer, check it and transmit it to the statistical analysis program for the analyst
to complete. Data can be gathered on one project while the analysis is being completed on
another, but the analysis must be complete before the statistical analysis program can accept the
new data. After some practice, the new process can be completed with a standard time of 20
minutes…
Compare stopwatch time study and work sampling.
The first day of basic training at the Air Force Academy is quite a sight, with 1500 cadets being processed in. This involves getting haircuts, uniforms, room assignments, and a mountain of paperwork. At the Uniform Fitting station, the worker takes the measurements on the cadet (which takes about 2 minutes), then retrieves shirts, pants and hats in his/her size (which takes about 2 minutes), waits for the cadet to try on the pants (which takes about 1 minute) and then marks the pants for hemming (which takes about 1 minute). The in-processing takes place from 8 AM to 5 PM with an hour off for lunch (8 hours).
__________2a. How many cadets can a single worker fit for uniforms on that hectic day?
__________2b. How many workers would be needed to fit 1601 cadets in one day, if everyone works at full capacity?

Students must see an advisor, sign up for classes, obtain a parking permit, pay tuition and fees, and buy textbooks and other supplies. During one registration period, 10 students every hour are sampled and asked about satisfaction with each of these areas. Twelve different groups of students were sampled, and the number in each group who had at least one complaint is as follows: 0, 2, 1, 0, 0, 1, 3, 0, 1, 2, 2, 0.

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.
