Question

A job was timed for 60 cycles and had an average of 1.2 minutes per piece. The performance rating was 95 percent, and workday allowances are 10 percent. Determine each of the following:
a) Observed Time
b) Normal Time
c) Standard Time

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is given below:

a) Observation time is

= Average time

= 1.2 minutes

b) Normal time is

= Observation time × performance rating

= 1.2 minutes × 0.95

= 1.14 minutes

c. The standard time is  

= Normal time × allowance factor

= 1.14 × 1.11

= 1.265 minutes.

The allowance factor is  

= 1 ÷ (1 -  Allowances)

= 1 ÷ (1 - 0.1)

= 1.11
