Question:
Your company's standard time goal for the dining room table assembling (DTA) job is 35 minutes to complete assembling the table, but after observations from the operations manager found that the total standard time is 45 minutes:
30 minutes for upright builds
5 minutes to connect long supports and legs
2 minutes to attach casters
4 minutes to secure MDF
2 minutes to join 2 x 8's
1 minute to attach the top to MDF
1 minute to check for errors
You are given an allowance factor of 15% (0.15 * 45 minutes) which is 6.75 minutes, the adjusted standard time is 38.25 minutes (standard time - total allowance).
Given that the goal of 35 minutes is still not met.
What adjustments should the operations manager make?
