Question

In an assembly operation at a furniture factory, 4 employees assembled an average of 600 standard dining chairs per 6-day work week. What is the labor productivity of this operation

Answer 1

Answer:

25 chairs per employee.

Explanation:

In this case labour productivity is the number of dining chairs per day over number of employees.

An average of 600 standard dining chairs were assembled per 6-day work week.

This means that, the number of dining chairs assembled per day is

$\frac{600}{6} = 100$

The number if employees is 4.

Therefore the labour productivity of this operation is:

$\frac{100}{4} = 25$

per employee.
