A Process was studied for MTM application It is represented as follows:

Activity

Reach$2"$

Grasp $($simple$)$

$4$

Turn

$2$

Regrasp

$6$

$1\frac{T}{M}U=\mathrm{.}00001$ hour

Look $($eye time$)10=\mathrm{.}0006$min

Leg motion $10$

Kneel on one knee $35$

Arise $35$

Total $=?$

TMU

a$)$ Determine the standard time with the current sequence for ten $(10)$ repetitions. Assume that a study indicated that a $23$ percent allowance is adequate for the task.

b$)$ If the process was changed so that the regrasp was not necessary, what would the new standard time be$?$
