Use the following information from the Arkade Company for Problems 5–10
Work Element Mean Observed Time (minutes) Performance Rating Factor
1 1.20 0.95
2 1.00 0.85
3 0.80 1.10
4 0.90 1.10
(P5.Pg 425) Calculate the normal time for each of the work elements.
Expert Answer
Assuming that the frequency is 1.00.
Normal Time Work element 1 = (1.20)(0.95)(1.00) = 1.14 minutes
Normal Time Work element 2 = (1.00)(0.85)(1.00) = 0.85 minutes
Normal Time Work element 3 = (0.80)(1.10)(1.00) = 0.88 minutes Normal Time Work element 4 = (0.90)(1.10)(1.00) = 0.99 minutes
