An IE with consultation with operation workers has established a safe, effective and efficient job method for the "front wheel - spokes -tire" sub-assembly of a junior boy's bicycle using principles of motion economy. Further the lE, using principles of "stop-watch time systems (SWTS)" has to develop a "standard time" and "standard cost of labour" for the production of this sub- assembly.
(a) Enumerate and clearly state the principles of motion economy.
(b) Each job cycle of the established method for assembly of this front wheel sub-assembly produces 2 units per cycle. The method involves wel designed jigs and fixtures, manual human assembly work and machine controlled work. Average measured real time of manual assembly is 1.38 minutes per job cycle. Machine time per work cycle si 0.43 minutes per cycle. Allowances are 16 percent for the human assembly work portion and 10 percent for the machine portion. Performance rating =1.10 percent for this operation. Given that direct labour wage rate si $17.25 per hour, establish the standard time and standard cost per 100 units of this "front wheel -spokes_tire" sub-assembly.
