Question

1.Mary had an average observed time for testing 12 seconds. Her performance is 100% Fatigue factor is 15%

1. Calculate normal Time

2. Calculate Standard time.

2. A task involves positioning two metal parts with a rubber gasket sandwiched between them, inserting two bolts into predrilled holes, threading a nut onto each bolt, and tightening each bolt with a pneumatic wrench. In a preliminary study, the manager 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): 50 54 60 66 56

a. What is the average observed time for this task?

b. What is the normal time for this task if the employee worked at a 10% slower pace than is typical for adequately trained workers?

c. What is standard time for this task if allowances sum to 14%?

Explanation / Answer

2. a

Actual observed time = 220/4 = 55sec

2b

Normal time = 55*0.90 = 9.5sec

2c.

Standard time = 49.5/(1-.14) =57.6sec
