Question

B. In a time study, an analyst observed a worker who prepared hamburgers at the Blimpy Burger restaurant. The recorded average time for the worker to make a hamburger was 4 minutes. Using the Westinghouse performance rating system, the analyst wrote these codes: Skill C1, Effort E1, Conditions D, Consistency B. Assume the following time allowances: personal allowance 4%, fatigue allowance 3%, unavoidable equipment delays 5%. What is the standard time to prepare a hamburger at the Blimpy Burger restaurant

Answer 1

Answer:

4 minutes and 42 seconds is the standard time.

Explanation:

We observe 4 minutes

The employee has the following factors:

Good Skill(C1)  + 0.06

Fair Effort(E1) - 0.04

Average Conditions: 0.00

Excellent Consistency: +0.03

Sum: 0.05

The worker is 5% above average

The allowance will be:

4% personal + 3% fatigue + 5% equipment = 12%

4.00 minutes x (1.05) x (1.12) = 4.704

We convert that in second: 0.704 x 60 = 42 seconds

4 minutes and 42 seconds is the standard time.
