The first day of basic training at the Air Force Academy is quite a sight, with 1500 cadets being processed in. This involves getting haircuts, uniforms, room assignments, and a mountain of paperwork. At the Uniform Fitting station, the worker takes the measurements on the cadet (which takes about 2 minutes), then retrieves shirts, pants and hats in his/her size (which takes about 2 minutes), waits for the cadet to try on the pants (which takes about 1 minute) and then marks the pants for hemming (which takes about 1 minute). The in-processing takes place from 8 AM to 5 PM with an hour off for lunch (8 hours).
__________2a. How many cadets can a single worker fit for uniforms on that hectic day?
__________2b. How many workers would be needed to fit 1601 cadets in one day, if everyone works at full capacity?
You're responding to a troubleshooting issue in HR regarding a broken laser printer. According to reports, the printer completes the print operation and sends the paper through successfully. The content appears to be appropriately printed on the page. The toner, on the other hand, is readily smudged and adheres to other papers, equipment, and clothing. Which part of the printer is most likely in need of replacement? Make a list of the steps required to complete the assignment.

- local market research fim has just won a contract for several thousand small projects involving data gathering and statistical analysis. In the past, the firm has assigned each project to a single member of its highly trained professional staff. This person would both gather and analyze the data Using this approach, an experienced person can complete an average of 10 such projects in an eight-hour day. The firm's management is thinking of assigning two people to each project in order to allow them to specialize and become more efficient The process would require the data gatherer to fill out a matrix on the computer, check it and transmit it to the statistical analysis program for the analyst to complete. Data can be gathered on one project while the analysis is being completed on another, but the analysis must be complete before the statistical analysis program can accept the new data. After some practice, the new process can be completed with a standard time of 20 minutes…arrow_forwardene is working with the operations manager to determine what the standard labor cost is for a spice chest. He has watched the process from start to finish and taken detailed notes on what each employee does. The first employee selects and mills the wood, so it is smooth on all four sides. This takes the employee 1 hour(s) for each chest. The next employee takes the wood and cuts it to the proper size. This takes 43 minutes. The next employee assembles and sands the chest. Assembly takes 3 hour(s). The chest then goes to the finishing department. It takes 3 hour(s) to finish the chest. All employees are cross-trained so they are all paid the same amount per hour, $17.62. What is the standard cost per chest for labor? Round to the nearest penny, two decimal places.arrow_forwardA 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 .96, and decided that an appropriate allowance was 15 percent. Assume the allowance factor is based on the workday. Determine the following: the observed time (OT), the normal time (NT), and the standard time (ST).arrow_forward
- Nine observations from a work measurement study using continuous timing are shown below. Allowances are determined as: personal, five percent; fatigue, five percent; delay, seven percent. Use the Work Measurement Excel template to determine the standard time for this operation.arrow_forwardRecently, the polish general corporation,well-known for manufacturing appliances and automobile parts, initiated a $13 billion project to produce automobiles. A great deal of learning on the part of management and employees was required. Even though pressure was mounting to get a new product in early 2012, the production manager of the newly formed automobile division insisted on almost a year of trial runs before sales started because workers have to their jobs 60 to 100 times before they can memorize the right sequence. The launch date was set for early 2013. what are the consequences of using this approach to enter the market with a new project?arrow_forwardAn assembly operation has a 90 percent learning curve.
