Mathematical Terms
1. A company manufactures 5,000 digital watches by employing 25 people at 8 hours/day for
30 days.
Find out the productivity (In terms of labour). Now, suppose the company has increased its
production to 6000watches by employing 10 additional workers at 8 hours/day for 30 days. Find
out the productivity (In terms of labour) and comment on it. [22]
2. Define pitch time: Draw and explain a pitch diagram for the following data: [22]
i. Standard time: 1000 sec
ii. No. Of workers: 40
iii. No. Of operations: 50
3. In a work study experiment, it is observed that a worker completes a job in an average time
of 15 minutes with a performance rating of 120%. How long it will take of complete the same
job by another worker with a performance rating of 80%. [22]
4. Calculate total factor productivity and total productivity for the following information collect
from a company; Output-12000Tk, Human input-3000Tk, Capital input=4000Tk, Material
input-2000Tk, Overhead=1200Tk, Energy-1000Tk. [21]
5. An element is observed to be carried out in 0.8 minutes. The pace rating is 110% and the
secondary adjustment by 20%, find the time on any fair day. If 0.2 minute per element is
given as allowance, what is the standard time taken for 20 repeated actions? [21]
6. A repairman is to be hired to repair machines which break down at an average rate of 3 per
hour. The breakdowns follow poison distribution. Non-productive time of machine is
considered to cost Tk. 16 per hour. Two repairmen have been interviewed: one is slow but
cheap, while the other is fast but expensive. The slow repairman charges Tk.8 per hour and
he services broken-down machine at the rate 4 per hour. The fast repairman demands Tk. 10
per hour and he services at an average rate of 6 per hour. Which repairman should be hired?
Assume an 8-hour working day. [20]
