Question: Single - factor productivity assumptions: # of workers = 1 0 0 ( 5 0 dedicated pickers, 2 5 material handlers, 2 5 crew leaders

Single-factor productivity assumptions:
# of workers =100(50 dedicated pickers, 25 material handlers, 25 crew leaders and utility associates)
Pay rate =50 at $17/hour and 50 at $25/hour
# of picks = avg. 120 picks per hour per worker
Multiple-factor productivity assumptions:
# of workers =100
Pay rate =50 at $17/hour and 50 at $25/hour
# of picks = avg. 120 picks per hour per worker
Errors per hour/chargeback (return freight and reship cost)=12% error rate per hour and the chargeback calculation is $12 per picked error.
(Note: 12%\times 120 picks \times $12 per picked error \times 8 hours per shift \times 20 shifts per month \times 50 pickers = $1,382,400 per month)
Damage and theft = $6,500/month
Single-factor productivity assumptions with robots:
# of workers =50
Pay rate = avg. $29/hour
# of picks = avg. 400 picks per hour per worker
Multiple-factor productivity assumptions with robots:
# of workers =50
Pay rate = avg. $29/hour
# of picks = avg. 400 picks per hour per worker
Errors per hour/chargeback =0 errors
Lease per robot = $2,500/month
# of robots =30
Do not round intermediate calculations.
Calculate productivity for the private warehouse comparing existing productivity and productivity if robots were leased. Round your answers to two decimal places.
Without robots
Single-factor productivity (picks per $)
Overall multiple-factor productivity (picks per $)
With robots
Single-factor productivity (picks per $)
Overall multiple-factor productivity (picks per $)
