Exam 7: A: Design of Work Systems

How many observations should be made if she wants to be 95.44 percent confident that the maximum error in the observed time is two seconds? The standard deviation of task times is 6 seconds.

The standard time for a job is determined based on the observed time,a performance rating,and an allowance factor.

A work sampling study does not involve measuring the amount of time to complete different categories of work activities.

What is the standard time (ST)for this task if the bartender worked at a twenty percent faster pace than is average,and an allowance of twenty percent of the workday is used?

What is the standard time (ST)for this task if the employee worked at a fifty percent faster pace than is average,and an allowance of ten percent of the workday is used?

Job enlargement represents vertical loading of a job,increasing the level of skills and responsibilities associated with the original job.

Work sampling provides a detailed elemental breakdown of a task for purposes of establishing reliable time standards.

What is the observed time (OT)for this task?

What is the normal time (NT)for this task if the employee worked at a fifty percent faster pace than the average?

All of the following are a part of the basic procedure for methods analysis EXCEPT:

In a stopwatch time study,the average time it takes a given worker to perform a task a certain number of times is the:

What is the standard time (ST)for this task if the employee worked at a twenty percent faster pace than is average,and an allowance of twenty-five percent of job time is used?

Methods analysis focuses on which aspect of job design?

Which of the following is not an objective of job design?

Job enrichment involves an increase in the level of employee responsibility for planning,execution,and control of a job.

Although quality may be considered in compensation,quantity is always more important.

What will be the effect of increasing the maximum acceptance error proportion on sample size in work sampling?

Job enlargement involves an increase in the level of employee responsibility for planning and coordinating tasks.

The methods analysis chart which describes the portions of a work cycle during which an operator and equipment are busy or idle is a(n):

Given the following work sampling data, based upon 100 random observations of a particular worker: -For a confidence level of 86.64%,what is the maximum error of the estimate for activity A? B? C?
