Tim Nelson's job as an inspector for La-Z-Boy is to inspect 130 chairs per day.a) If he works an 8-hour day, how many minutes is be allowed for each inspection (i.e., what is his "standard time")?b) If he is a llowed a 6% fat igue a llowance, a 6% delay allowance,and 6% for personal time, what is the normal time that he is assumed to take to perform each inspection?
Q2 (a) A time study analyst timed an assembly operation for 30 cycles, and then computed the average time per cycle, which was 18.75 minutes. The analyst assigned a performance rating of 0.96 and decided that an appropriate allowance was 15 percent. Assume the allowance factor is based on the workday. Determine the following: (i) Observed time (OT) (ii) The Normal times (NT) (iii) The standard time (ST)
(b) If the analyst wants to estimate the number of observations that will be needed to achieve a specified maximum error, with a confidence of 95.5 %. A preliminary study yielded a mean of 5.2 minutes and a standard deviation of 1.1 minutes. Determine the total number of observation needed for these two cases: (a) A maximum error of + or - 6 % (b) A maximum error of 40 minutes

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_forward
