ACTIVITY $20$: STOPWATCH TIME STUDY CALCULATIONS $1$

objectives: At the end of the activity the students are expected to:

Page $|-107-$

Acquire the skills on setting time standards using stopwatch time study formula.

Utilize cancellation of units to calculate time standards.

Gain the ability to use the time standard formula to solve other unknowns.

Apparatus: Calculators, solution sheets

Problems:

Compute for the standard output in pieces per hour $($pc$/$hr$)$ and standard time in hours per piece $(hr\frac{s}{p}c)$ given the following: Assume: $8hr\frac{s}{?}$ day as working shift.

a$.300mi\frac{n}{p}c$

b$.2\mathrm{.}0s\frac{ec}{pc}$

c$.\mathrm{.}450s\frac{ec}{pc}$

d$.0\mathrm{.}050mi\frac{n}{p}c$

What will be the labor cost per piece in #$1,$ if labor rate is $$350$ per day?

How many machines should you buy and how many people should you hire if $3000$ units are needed per shift and the machine standard time is $0\mathrm{.}284$ minutes per piece. How much will each unit cost if the operator is paid $$\frac{10}{?}$ hr$.$ How many units $($capacity$)$ will be produced per shift? Assume: $1$ shift production only.
