Nine ( 9 ) welders who perform the identical short-cycle job were observed by
a time and motion engineer over six ( 6 ) cycles each. The total time recorded
was three-hundred-ten ( 310 ) minutes.
The performance rating for a particular welder was established at ninety-two
percent ( 92% ). Additionally, each welder is granted a twelve percent ( 12% )
allowance for personal needs, fatigue, and routine delays.
23. The observed time ( OT ) for this job is 5.833 minutes.
TRUE

True or False
Nine ( 9 ) welders who perform the identical short-cycle job were observed by
a time and motion engineer over six ( 6 ) cycles each. The total time recorded
was three-hundred-ten ( 310 ) minutes.
The performance rating for a particular welder was established at ninety-two
percent ( 92% ). Additionally, each welder is granted a twelve percent ( 12% )
allowance for personal needs, fatigue, and routine delays.
observed time ( OT ) = 310 / ( 9 x 6 ) = 5.7407
normal time ( NT ) = 5.7407 x .92 = 5.2814
standard time ( ST ) = 5.284 / ( 1 - .12 ) = 6.0045
Assembly Line Balancing Problem
Problem 1
A firm desires to achieve a production rate of
seventy-five ( 75 ) units per six ( 6 ) hour day,
utilizing an assembly line.
The table below lists the nine ( 9 ) tasks that
must be performed to produce each unit as
well as the sequence in which they must be
performed.
