Use this Word document to complete this assignment. Following is a summary of the time study data that was collected during an eight-hour time study on one manufacturing operation on one employee. The entire study took nine-hours because there was a one- hour lunch period in the middle of the day.
You must analyze all the following data, and compute the Total Standard Time to do the job which includes a P, F, and D percentage that you develop based on the following data.
You must make the decision on which activities to omit, and which activities to include in each of the following three areas:
1. Personal Time,
2. Fatigue Time, and
3. Delay Time.
I will not tell you which activities to omit or which activities to put into each category. You must make those decisions yourself.
You must develop your mathematical answers to the above values using the same format and procedure demonstrated in the lecture posted on the D2L Learning Module page for this topic.
You must show how you arrived at all your answers using the same type of tables illustrated in the examples on the D2L page.
All the activities in the following example must be shown somewhere in your analysis for the individual P, F, and D factors (as either included or omitted).
Compute your ratios using an eight-hour workday (480 minutes).
The company has a one-hour lunch period, but the company does not pay their employees to eat lunch. Do not include the lunch hour in your ratio calculations.
The company permits a 15-minute break in the morning and a 15-minute break in the afternoon. The company does pay their employees to take their breaks.
The employee was rated at 80% productivity for the entire 8-hour workday. The following times are not factored by this productivity rating. The following times are the actual stopwatch times to do the job. The actual time is shown along with the exact number of parts completed during each time period. 1

Type your analysis of the above nine-hour time study below.
Personal Time:
(Add more rows to table as necessary)
| Activity | Time | Decision |
|---|---|---|
| Total Time Per Day |
Fatigue Time: T1 = Average time to produce one unit during the first hour of work. T2 = Average time to produce one unit during the last hour of work. Fatigue Factor Ratio = [ (T2 - T1) / T1 ] x 0.5
T1 = T2 = Fatigue Factor Ratio = Fatigue Factor Percent =
Delay Time:
