If the normal time is 1.30 min for a repetitive task that produces one work unit per cycle, and the company uses a PFD allowance factor of 12%, determine (a) the standard time for the task and (b) how many work units are produced in an 8-hour shift at standard performance.

The “worker” in this scenario had to perform a candy-sorting task and the rest of the class hadto record the observed times (OT) for the task. It was decided that the rating for the “worker” was 100%. Given the following table, find the Normal Time for each element. Write your answers in order from Element #1 --> Element  #5. Answers must have one decimal place: e.g. 3.0 or 12.5     Element Trail 1 Trial 2 Normal Time 1 Walk to podium 3 sec 3 sec   2 Fill mug 5 sec 6 sec   3 Walk to desk/sit 5 sec 4 sec   4 Sort Candy 12 sec 12 sec   5 Walk to desk 4 sec 4 sec

Nine observations from a work measurement study using continuous timing are shown below. Allowances are determined as: personal, five percent; fatigue, six percent; delay, six percent.

The ISME Department at WSU promotes its industrial engineering program by mailing thousands of individually composed and typed letters to prospective students and their families. A time study has been conducted on teh task of preparing the letters for mailing (see data in the table below). WSU's personal, delay, and fatigue allowance factor is 13% of the shift time. What is the standard time of the overall job studied? Write your answer with one decimal point.
