Problem 2:
Tom Leonard, of Leonard, Spitz, and Wareham, takes 3 hours and 25 minutes to write
an end of month report. Tom is rated at 95% (work pace is 95%) and the office has a
personal time allowance of 8%. There is no delay time or fatigue time.
Problem 3:
The two steps in preparing chocolate candy bars are molding and packaging. Personal
fatigue and delay allowances are set at 15%. The molding machine operator is rated at
110% and the packer is rated at 80%. Observed times per batch are given below.

Problem 5:
Jim and Bob recently time-studied a janitorial task. From a sample of 75 observations,
they computed an average cycle time of 15 minutes with a standard deviation of 2
minutes. Was their sample large enough that one can be 99% confident that the
standard time is within 5% of the true value?

For Molding:
Average for the actual Molding cycle = 29 minutes per batch
Normal time = (total time)(% working)(rating)/(number of units produced)
= (29)(1.00)(1.10) /1 = 31.9 minutes per batch
Standard time = (Normal time)/(1-Allowance)
= 31.90 /(1 - 0.15) = 37.5 minutes per batch
For Packing:
Average actual Packing time = 40 minutes
3
Normal time = (total time)(%working)(rating)/(number of units produced)
= (40)(1.00)(.80) = 32 minutes per batch
Standard time = (Normal time)/(1-Allowance)
= (32)/(1 - 0.15) = 37.6 minutes
Problem 4:
Average actual time = 40 hours
Normal time = (total time)(%working)(rating)/(number of units produced)
= (40hrs)(0.90)(0.85)/(12) = 2.55 hours per part
Standard time = (Normal time)/(1-Allowance)
= 2.55 / 0.88 = 2.90 hours per part
