DATA PROCESSING
In this chapter, the data and calculation of work pre work sampling, work
sampling, operator of observation objects productivity ratio, and productivity
ration of another observation object;s location will be shown.
The work element in the table above is the activities that are observed in
the work sampling. By using the code and term that has been defined above, the
result of pre work sampling is shown in the data recapitulation below:
Table 1. 2 Pre-Work Sampling Data Recapitulation

k2 p (1p)
N = (1.3)
(Sp)2
Explanation:
N = Number of observation that needs to be done
p = probability of working element
k = value of z (Confidence level 95%, z = 1,96)
S = error rate (0,05)
The calculation of adequacy test for pre work sampling is as follows:
1.962 x 0,24 (1 0,24)
N =
(0,05 x 0,24)2
N = 4855,03
The number of data that is collected in the observation (N) is 100 data.
So, N is less than N. In another words, the data that is collected in pre-work
sampling is not sufficient.

From the table above, it can be concluded that the non-value added is the
most done activity from the total activity.

In this chapter, the conclusions and suggestions that can be obtained will
be explained.
3.1 Conclusions
The conclusions that can be obtaind by doing the module of work
sampling are as follows:
1. Pre work sampling is done to grasp the work nature of observed
object, thus it is usually done in the initial steps of the observation,
and the length can be assumed.
2. The most done activities by the operators is a non added value
activity.
3. The activity ratio in morning and afternoon shift of 3rd Floor Front
Desk of ITS Library are relatively similar.
3.2 Suggestions
The suggestions that can be given for the next module so that it can done
successfully are as follows:
1. The length of the observation can be reduced a bit
2. No need to show all the results of the observation
3. The data can be decreased
