Question
A task was timed for 60 cycles. It took an average of 1.32 minutes per cycle. The performance rating was 100 percent, and workday allowance is 6 percent. Determine each of the following. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round the final answers to 2 decimal places.) a. Observed time minutes b. Normal time minutes c. Standard time minut
Solution
a. Observed Time: The observed time is simply the average time taken per cycle, multiplied by the number of cycles. In this case, it would be 1.32 minutes/cycle * 60 cycles = 79.2 minutes.
b. Normal Time: The normal time is the observed time multiplied by the performance rating. Since the performance rating is 100%, the normal time is the same as the observed time, which is 79.2 minutes.
c. Standard Time: The standard time is the normal time divided by (1 - allowance factor). The allowance factor is 6%, so the standard time would be 79.2 minutes / (1 - 0.06) = 84.26 minutes. This is rounded to 84.26 minutes.
