Design and Measurement It is important that operations managers are comfortable analyzing business data, and then using the resultant information to make well-informed decisions that will ultimately improve operational efficiency, lower costs, improve “bottom line†performance, and decrease outcome variability that can be attributed to assignable causes.
The unit reading will go over the concepts of methods analysis and the measurement of work. First, one employs methods analysis to breakdown a process into basic work tasks. Next, measurement samples are taken of how long it takes to complete each work task. Since there is usually variance in how long it takes workers to complete a task, statistical methods are utilized to estimate the percent of time a worker spends on the task, and how much is idle time. Once the methods analysis is complete, then it is possible to measure the time it takes to complete each work task.
Basically you are using quantitative methods to measure work, rather than a subjective qualitative approach. Unit Learning Outcomes 1. Perform descriptive analyses on datasets using Microsoft Excel. (CLO 4, 5, and 7) 2. Properly determine standard times for units of work using Microsoft Excel. (CLO 3, 4, and 5) 3. Calculate cycle time commonly associated with time studies for production using Microsoft Excel. (CLO 1, 3, 4, 5, and 7) 4.
Use quantitative data as the basis for making suggested operational improvements within various organizational structures. (CLO 3, 4, and 5) Directions End of Chapter Problems (60 points): Answer the following end of chapter problems from the textbook: Chapter 7 – problems 2, 3, 4, 7, 9, and 11 (pages , 10 points each). View the following example videos before working the problems: Problems to be answers 2. A job was timed for 60 cycles and had an average of 1.2 minutes per piece. The performance rating was 95 percent, and workday allowances are 10 percent. Determine each of the following. a. observed time b. normal time c. standard time 3.
A time study was conducted on a job that contains four elements. The observed times and performance ratings for six cycles are shown in the following table. OBSERVATIONS (minutes per cycle) Element Performance Rating % 0........................26 a. Determine the average cycle time for each element. b. Find the normal time for each element. c.
Assuming an allowance factor of 15 percent of job time, compute the standard time for this job. 4. Given these observed times (in minutes) for four elements of a job, determine the observed time (OT) for each element. Note: The second element only occurs every other cycle. CYCLE Element ...... — 1.5 — 1.6 — 1..............
A worker-machine operation was found to involve 3.3 minutes of machine time per cycle in the course of 40 cycles of stopwatch study. The worker’s time averaged 1.9 minutes per cycle, and the worker was given a rating of 120 percent (machine rating is 100 percent). Midway through the study, the worker took a 10-minute rest break. Assuming an allowance factor of 12 percent of work time, determine the standard time for this job. 9.
The following data were obtained by observing a three-step job of a financial manager’s assistant. a. Using the data and an allowance of 10 percent of job time, determine a standard time for the operation. b. Determine the number of observations that would be required to estimate the mean time for the first element within 4 percent of the true value with a confidence of 98 percent. c. How many observations would be needed to estimate the mean time for element C to within .10 minute of its actual value with a confidence of 90 percent?

Case Study Manage Your Health, Inc. (MYH) is a Fortune 500 company that provides a variety of healthcare services across the globe. MYH has more than 20,000 full-time employees and more than 5,000 part-time employees. MYH recently updated its strategic plan; key goals include reducing internal costs, increasing cross-selling of products, and exploiting new Web-based technologies to help employees, customers, and suppliers work together to improve the development and delivery of healthcare products and services. Below is an idea the IT department has developed for supporting these strategic goals: Recreation and Wellness Intranet Project: Provide an application on the current intranet to help employees improve their health.
A recent study found that MYH, Inc. pays 20 percent more than the industry average for employee healthcare premiums, primarily due to the poor health of its employees. You believe that this application will help improve employee health within 1 year of its rollout so you can negotiate lower health insurance premiums, providing net savings of at least $30/employee/year for full-time employees over the next 4 years. This application would include the following capabilities: · Allowing employees to register for company-sponsored recreational programs, such as soccer, softball, bowling, jogging, and walking · Allowing employees to register for company-sponsored classes and programs to help them manage their weight, reduce stress, stop smoking, and manage other health-related issues · Tracking data on employee involvement in these recreational and health-management programs · Offering incentives for people to join the programs and do well in them (e.g., incentives for achieving weight goals, winning sports team competitions, etc.) Assume that the project will take 6 months to complete and cost about $200,000.
