ASSIGMENT ON WORK MEASUREMENT

1. A hotel housekeeper was observed five times on each of four task elements
shown in the following table. .

OBSERVATION IN MINUTES

ELEMENT 1 2 3 4 5 PR %

Check Minibar .44 .50 .43 .45 .48 90%

Make bed 1.50 1.54 1.47 1.51 1.49 85%

Vacuum Floor 0.84 0.89 0.77 0.83 0.85 110%

Clean Bath 1.10 1.14 1.08 1.20 1.16 100%

Compute the Mean Time for each element and the OT, NT, ST, given an allowance job
time of 15%

ELEMENT OT NT ST

Check Minibar = (0.44 + 0.50 + 0.43 + = 0.46 X 90% =0.41 X 1.15

0.45 + 0.48) / 5
=0.41 = 0.48
= 0.46

Make bed = (1.50 + 1.54 + 1.47 + = 1.50 X 85% =1.28 X 1.15

1.51 + 1.49) / 5
=1.28 = 0.47
=1.50

Vacuum Floor = (0.84 + 0.89 + 0.77 + = 0.84 X 110% =0.92 X 1.15

0.83 + 0.85) / 5
=0.92 = 1.06
=0.84

Clean Bath =(1.10 + 1.14 + 1.08 + = 1.14 X 100% = 1.14 X 1.15

1.20 + 1.16) / 5
= 1.14 = 1.31
=1.14

Problem 2. Given the table below,

Compute for the OT,NT and ST assuming and allowance factor of 15% of job time.

Elements PR 1 2 3 4 5 6

1 110% 1.20 1.17 1.16 1.22 1.24 1.15

2 115% 0.83 0.87 0.78 0.82 0.85 1.32

3 105% 0.58 0.53 0.52 0.59 0.60 0.54

*Unusual delay, disregard time.

Elements OT NT ST

1 = (1.20 + 1.17 + 1.16 + =1.19 X 110% =1.31 X 1.15

1.22 + 1.24 + 1.15) / 6
=1.31 = 1.51
=1.19

2 = (0.83 + 0.87 + 0.78 + =0.83 X 115% =0.95 X 1.15

0.82 + 0.85 + 1.32) / 6
=0.95 = 1.10
=0.83

3 = (0.58 + 0.53 + 0.52 + =0.56 X 105% =0.59 X 1.15

0.59 + 0.60 + 0.54) / 6
=0.59 = 0.68
