Understanding performance Rating (Metronome Use) Standard pace can be defined as the effective rate of performance of a conscientious, self-paced, qualified employee when working neither fast nor slow and giving due consideration to physical, mental or visual requirements of the specific job. The instructor (or operator) can synchronize the work pace with the metronome so as to demonstrate a particular level of performance. Grave is extremely slow and solemn at 20 to 40 beats per minute. Playing or listening to a song at this pace can be difficult, as the pulse of the song is literally about every two seconds. Largo bpm. Adagio bpm and literally means 'at ease.' Andante 61-80 bpm is meant to be at walking pace. Moderato 81-90 bpm. Allegretto is moderately quick at 91 to 104 bpm. Allegro bpm, is a very commonly-used tempo, partly because of its happy, quick pace and partly because of its range of BPM is so large: its range is from 105 to 132 beats per minute. Many commercials will use this tempo because it is slightly higher than the average heart rate and therefore gives a sense of excitement. Vivace livens the pace at 132 – 167 bpm. Presto imitates a sprinter's heart at a quick 168 – 177 bpm. Prestissimo is extremely fast 178 –208 bpm. a. In groups of 3-4 students deal cards at paces of (comment = what did the pace “feel†like): i. 40 bpm; 1 brief comment: _________________________________________________________ ii. 60 bpm; 1 brief comment: _________________________________________________________ iii. 80 bpm; 1 brief comment: _________________________________________________________ iv. 90 bpm; 1 brief comment: _________________________________________________________ v. 104 bpm; 1 brief comment: ________________________________________________________ vi. 150 bpm; 1 brief comment: ________________________________________________________ vii. 170 bpm; 1 brief comment: ________________________________________________________ viii. 190 bpm; 1 brief comment: ________________________________________________________ b. To demonstrate various levels of performance to a group of union stewards, the time study supervisor of the Attainment Company is using the metronome while dealing card hands. Assume level of performance for 100% is 104 bpm. How many times per minute should the metronome beat to demonstrate the following levels of performance: 60 percent, 75 percent, 100 percent, 125 percent? i. 60 percent = 0.60 à— 104 beats = 62 beats/min ii. 75 percent = 0.75 à— 104 beats = ___ beats/min iii. 100 percent = ____ à— ___ beats = ___ beats/min iv. 125 percent = ____ à— ___ beats = ___ beats/min c. Rate the overall study for each of the following jobs shown by the instructor via video: i. Stamping extrusions => Level of Performance ______ ii. Stamping end couplings => Level of Performance ______ iii. Flashlight assembly => Level of Performance ______ iv. Union assembly => Level of Performance ______ check your answers with TA/instructor before moving on. 2. Understating Time Studies (use your textbook and other resources to answer these questions) a. Operators and their Responsibilities During a Time Study • Select an operator who has a record of performing at standard pace or somewhat above standard pace, who is cooperative, dependable and conscientious. • A qualified operator is one who can achieve the established standard of performance when following the prescribed method at an average pace. • The operator should have a favorable attitude to the work measurement procedure and should have an open mind in connection with method improvement. • The operator should be rated in order to adjust the time of a good operator up to the standard and the time of a poor operator down to the standard. b. Analyst Responsibilities During a Time Study Summarize 3 key responsibilities 1-2 sentences each: • Responsibility 1: • Responsibility 2: • Responsibility 3: c. Supervisor and Union’s Responsibilities Summarize 3 key responsibilities 1-2 sentences each: • Responsibility 1: • Responsibility 2: • Responsibility 3: d. Time Study Script Write a short script and practice twice for how you will approach an operator and discuss your time study. How can you quickly convey information and develop rapport with an operator? conduct script with instructor/TA (acting as an operator) for approval before moving on. 3. Time Study Practice Part 1 Find the observed, normal, and standard times for the following jobs shown on the website. Assume standard performance and a 10 percent allowance. a) Stamping extrusions b) Stamping end couplings c) Flashlight assembly d) Union assembly Job | Time Observed Time Normal Time Standard time Stamping Extrusions Stamping End Couplings Flashlight Assembly Union Assembly **check your answers with TA/instructor before moving on. 4.

Paper For Above instruction

The assignment requires a comprehensive analysis of time study methods, including Therblig analysis, performance rating, and timing procedures, particularly related to flashlight assembly. It involves evaluating current work processes, identifying opportunities for improvement, and proposing more efficient methods using tools like therbligs, process charts, and motion analysis. The purpose is to enhance productivity, eliminate inefficiencies, and suggest automation where feasible, supported by credible references.

The process begins with understanding performance ratings using metronomes and different tempos, moving through operator responsibilities, analyzing job motions, and conducting practical timing exercises. It emphasizes the importance of selecting qualified operators, accurately measuring work times, and applying standards with allowances. Part of the task involves executing timed observations, developing flow process analyses, and exploring opportunities for mechanization and automation.

Furthermore, students are expected to prepare and practice scripts for approaching operators during studies, accurately record observed times, and interpret data to recommend process improvements. Critical evaluation of data, standards, and current practices is necessary to develop viable suggestions for reducing cycle times and increasing efficiency. The final deliverable includes a concise executive summary, incorporating analysis results, method critiques, allowances, and recommendations, supported by at least five scholarly references.
