The normal time to perform a certain manual work cycle is 3.47 min. In addition, an irregular work element whose normal time is 3.70 min must be performed every 10 cycles. One work unit is produced each cycle. The PFD allowance factor is 14%.
Determine (a) the standard time per piece and (b) how many work units are produced during an 8-hour shift at 100% performance, and the worker works exactly 7.018 hr, which corresponds to the 14% allowance factor. (c) If the worker's pace is 120% and he works 7.2 hours during the regular shift, how many units are produced?
