Exam 24: Measuring Output Rates

The key to creating a work standard is defining ________.

The gentleman farmer recorded the time it took to feed and water his chickens and collect eggs each morning.He has done this several times,so he assigns himself a rating of 1.15.The allowance factor for this endeavor is 5%.What is the normal time for this job element?

Table H.1 A worker was observed for four cycles in a repetitive task that contains four distinct elements.The observer recorded the following items in seconds,using the continuous method. -Use the information in Table H.1.Work element 1 receives a performance rating factor of 1.4 and is performed every other cycle.If the company uses an allowance time of 15 percent,what is the standard time for this work element?

What are the strengths and limitations of the time study method when compared to work sampling,and for which applications are each best suited?

________ involves estimating the proportion of time spent by people and machines on activities,based on a large number of observations.

During a time study,the following times were observed for a particular job using the continuous (non-snapback)method: 22,51,72,98,128,and 150 seconds.There is only one element per cycle.The sample standard deviation of the observed times has already been computed as 3.9 seconds.If an estimate for the average time that is within 4 percent of the true long-range average 95 percent (z = 1.96)of the time is desired,how many additional observations are needed?

The Dean's office is interested in determining the percentage of students receiving A's in their study tour classes.The results of three classes are summarized in this table: The Assistant Dean wants a 98 percent confidence level and a degree of precision of + 0.04.How many more observations are needed?

Fatigue,rest,or unavoidable delays are not factored into a work standard by the performance rating factor.

With a time study approach,the:

The gentleman farmer recorded the time it took to feed and water his chickens and collect eggs each morning.He has done this several times,so he assigns himself a rating of 1.25.The allowance factor for this endeavor is 5%.What is the standard time for this job element?

At a new watch assembly plant,a job is divided into three work elements.The element times for the first four cycles are recorded by the continuous method and are presented below along with a performance rating factor (RF)for each element. The standard time for this job,assuming that the allowance is 18 percent,is:

A work standard is the time required for a trained worker to perform a task following a prescribed method with normal effort and skill.

The following times in seconds were observed for a particular one-element job using the continuous method: 12,22,35,and 50.The worker's rating factor is 1.1.What is the standard time for the job if an allowance of 20 percent is provided?

The ________ of job element timing requires that the observer reset the stopwatch after each observation.

When using a time study approach,the standard time is the:

The work measurement technique that breaks down tasks into a series of generic micro-motions is the:

A larger sample size is required when the job being studied is more consistent in completion time.

Work standards would NOT be helpful for management in which area?

A supermarket administrator suspects that idle time is about 20 percent for the cashier and 15 percent for the office clerk.If the administrator wants a 95 percent confidence level (z = 1.96)and a degree of precision of + 0.05 for both cashier and office clerk,how many TOTAL observations are needed?

Table H.1 A worker was observed for four cycles in a repetitive task that contains four distinct elements.The observer recorded the following items in seconds,using the continuous method. -Use the information in Table H.1.What is the select time for work element 2?
