V. Clark. This company manufactured a line of wooden toys. One part of the process involved spray painting partially assembled toys, after which the toys were hung on moving hooks that carried them through a drying oven. The operation, staffed entirely by women, was plagued with absenteeism, high turnover, and low morale. Each woman at her paint booth would take a toy from the tray beside her, position it in a fixture, and spray on the color according to the required pattern. She then would release the toy and hang it on the conveyor hook. The rate at which the hooks moved had been calculated so that each woman, once fully trained, would be able to hang a painted toy on each hook before it passed beyond her reach. The women who worked in the paint room were on a group incentive plan that tied their earnings to the…arrow_forwardA 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).

The observations were made in an air-conditioned, well-lit training facility, at ground level, with all tools and equipment clean and readily available.
