Which of the following is not a characteristic of time-based compensation approaches?

The owner of Kat Motel wants to develop a time standard for the task of cleaning a cat cage.In a preliminary study,she observed one of her employees perform this task six times,with the following results: 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?

A Methods and Measurements Analyst for Digital Devices needs to develop a time standard for the task of assembling a computer mouse.In a preliminary study,she observed one of her employees perform this task six times with the following results: What is the normal time (NT) for this task if the employee worked at a 20% faster pace than is average?

11eab92b_c498_0239_99e6_1d0164ffbe17 How many observations would be needed to be 99.74% confident that the maximum error is 5% of the observed time? Assume that the standard deviation of the task time is 2 seconds.

Ergonomics tries to remove all of the following EXCEPT:

The owner of Touchdown Sports Bar wants to develop a time standard for the task of mixing a specialty cocktail.In a preliminary study,he observed one of his bartenders perform this task seven times with an average of 90 seconds and a standard deviation of 5 seconds. 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 ten percent of job time is used?

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

The manager of Lawn and Garden Services would like to estimate the proportion of her employees' times spent performing various gardening or lawn care activities.She has made 400 random observations of a typical worker,with the following results: How confident can the manager be that the true proportion of time spent mowing is between .45 and .55?

Methods analysis focuses on which aspect of job design?

Efficiency generally declines after a work break.

Predetermined time standards are derived from:

Given the following work sampling data,based upon 100 random observations of a particular worker: For a confidence level of 95.44% and a maximum error of .04,what should be the sample size for estimating the proportion of time spent performing activity A? B? C?

Flow process charts can be useful for analyzing and improving methods.

The establishment of a Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS)gives workers the right to refuse dangerous work.

A technique for estimating the proportion of time a worker spends on various activities is:

The standard time for a job can be obtained by multiplying the normal time by an appropriate allowance factor.

A performance rating of greater than 1.00 means that the observed worker was judged to be working faster than the normal rate.

Which of the following is not a potential disadvantage of job specialization in business?
