Work Study Numerical

1. For following manufacturing operation, Prepare man-machine chart after suggesting all possible
improvements. Also find out cycle time.
(1) Worker picks up raw material from tray 1 minute
(2) Worker loads raw material piece in machine 1 minute
(3) Worker start machine by using a lever 1 minute
(4) Machine runs automatically with auto stop at the end 5 minute
(5) Worker unloads finish piece 1 minute
(6) Machine throws waste automatically 2 minute
(7) Worker inspects finished piece 1 minute
(8) Worker packs finished piece in the box 2 minute
(9) Worker marks entry in the job card 1 minute

2. Prepare man-machine chart for most efficient situation for the work having following elemental activities:

(1) Picks up raw material piece from crate 4 seconds

(2) Inspects raw material piece for surface finish 6 seconds
(3) Loads raw material piece on machine 8 seconds
(4) Starts machine by pressing the button 3 seconds
(5) Machine does milling automatically 25 seconds
(6) Unloads finish piece 5 seconds
(7) Machine throws out scrape-chips automatically 10 seconds
(8) Inspects finished piece 10 seconds
(9) Worker packs finish piece in the box 10 seconds
Find cycle time for this operation. Also find idle time for worker and machine.

3. Prepare man-machine chart for following manufacturing operation after suggesting all possible
improvements:
(1) Worker Picks up raw material from tray 5 seconds
(2) Worker checks length of raw material 5 seconds
(3) Worker Loads raw material in machine 5 seconds
(4) Worker Starts machine 5 seconds
(5) Machine runs automatically with auto stop at the end 30 seconds
(6) Worker Unloads finished piece from machine 10 seconds
(7) Worker Inspects finished piece 10 seconds
(9) Worker packs finished piece in a box 10 seconds

4. Prepare man-machine chart for most efficient situation for the work having following elemental activities:
(1) Worker opens box of raw material 5 seconds
(2) Worker checks lengths of raw material 10 seconds
(3) Worker loads raw material in machine 5 seconds
(4) Worker Starts machine by pressing lever 5 seconds
(5) Machine runs automatically with auto stop at the end 20 seconds
(6) Worker unloads finished piece 5 seconds
(7) Worker inspects finished piece 15 seconds
(8) Worker packs finished piece in the box 20 seconds
(9) Machine re-sets itself automatically for next cycle 25 seconds
(10) Worker marks entry on job card 5 seconds
Find cycle time for this operation. Also find idle time for worker and machine.

(6) Worker unloads finish piece 1 minute
(7) Machine throws waste automatically 0.5 minute
(8) Worker inspects finished piece 2 minute
(9) Worker packs finished piece in the box 1 minute
(10) Machine automatically resets itself for next cycle 1 minute

6. For following manufacturing operation, Prepare man-machine chart after suggesting all possible
improvements. Also find out cycle time.
