Allowance per Eight-Hour Shift:
Clothes change 15 minutes
Unavoidable delay 35 minutes
Lunch 30 minutes
Shower and change 30 minutes
Total 110 Minutes
a. Compute the mean observed time for each element in minutes.
b. Compute the normal time for each element and total normal time in minutes.
c. Compute the allowance fraction for the operation. Assume 480 minutes per shift.
d. Compute the labor standard for the operation.
