An industrial operation consists of five elements with following observed time and the
performance ratings.
Element Observed time (min.) Performance Ratings (%)
A 0.20 85
B 0.08 80
C 0.50 90
D 0.12 85
E 0.10 80
Assuming that rest and personal allowance as 15% and contingency allowance as 2% of the
basic time. Calculate standard time per piece.
2. A time study was conducted on a job contains four elements. The observed times and
performance ratings are shown in the following table for six cycles.
