TUTORIAL: WORK SYSTEM & METHOD ENGINEERING

Answer All Question


1. What are the three basic categories of the work system?
2. What general characteristic is common to nearly all pure manual work?
3. What is the one best method principle?
4. What is meant by the term normal performance?
5. What is meant by the term normal time for a task?
6. What does PFD stand for? What is the purpose of the PFD allowance in determining
the standard time of task?
7. What is an irregular work element?
8. Define the meaning of work efficiency?

Cycle Time Analysis of Manual Work


1. A man walks in the early morning for health and fitness. His usual route is 1.85 miles
long. The route has minimal elevation change. A typical time to walk the 1.85 miles is
30 min. Using the benchmark of 3miles/hr as normal performance,
(a) How long the route would take at normal performance
(b) The man’s performance when he completes the route in 30 min.

2. The normal time to perform the regular work cycle for a certain manual operation is
3.23 min. In addition, an irregular work element whose normal time is 1.25 min must
be performed every 5 cycles. The PFD allowance factor is 15%. Determine
(a) the standard time
(b) how many work units are produced if the worker’s performance in an 8 hours shift is
standard?
(c) Determine the anticipated amount of time lost per 8-hour shift when an allowance
factor of 15% is used, as in the previous data from question 2
(d) Noe that the standard is set (Tstd = 4 min), and given the data from the previous
question above, how many work units would be produced if the worker’s average
performance during an 8 hours shift were 125% and the hours actually worked were
exactly 6.956 hr, which corresponds to the 15% allowance factors.

Standard Work and Worker Efficiency


1. For the worker performance of 125% in the question above ( Tstd = 4 min) ,
determine
(a) Number of standard hours produced
(b) Work efficiency
2. Suppose the worker’s pace/normal performance in the task is 125%, but the actual
hours worked is 7.42 hr. Determine
(a) The number of pieces produced
(b) The number of standard hours accomplished
(c) Worker’s efficiency
