A work measurement analyst at the Dorben Company took 10 observations of a high-production job. He rated the performance of each cycle and then calculated the average normal time for each item. The item with the largest dispersion had a mean of 0.30 minutes and a standard deviation of 0.03 minutes. If it is desired to have sample data within ±5% of the actual data, how many observations should the time study analyst take of this operation?
A hotel chain based in the United States contracts with a European vacuum cleaner manufacturer to supply a large number of upright
cleaner units. After delivery, the hotel raises questions about manufacturer vacuum cleaner performance claims, pointing out that the
units should have been tested to meet ASTM 558, an American standard. The manufacturer notes the advertised performance is based
on IEC 60312, a European standard, and the two test codes will yield similar, if not exact, results. Investigate both test codes and
address similarities and differences. Is there a legitimate claim here?
