A group of 10 worker in a certain month produced 4300 units of output working 8 hrs/day for 22 days in the month. a. What is the labor productivity ratio for this month? b. In the next month the group produced 4000 units but there were 22 days in the month and the workers were reduced month? c. What is the productivity index using the first month as the base?

Step 1
To calculate the total number of hours worked, we multiply the number of workers (10) by the number of hours worked per day (8) and the number of days in the month (22). Total number of hours worked = 10 workers * 8 hours/day * 22 days = 1760 hours Show more…

A company has a factory that is designed so that it is most efficient (average unit cost is minimized) when producing 27,100 units of output each month. However, it has an absolute maximum output capability of 33,000 units per month, and can produce as little as 7,000 units per month without corporate headquarters shifting production to another plant. If the factory produces 17,470 units in October, what is the capacity utilization rate in October for this factory

There are 20 forging presses in the forge shop of a small company. The shop produces batches of forgings requiring a setup time of 3.0 hours for each production batch. Average standard time for each part in a batch is 45 seconds, and there are an average of 600 parts in a batch. The plant workforce consists of two workers per press, two foremen, plus three clerical support staff. (a) Determine how many forged parts can be produced in 1 month, if there are 8 hours worked per day and an average of 21 days per month at one shift per day. (b) What is the labor productivity ratio of the forge shop, expressed as parts per worker-hour?

Assume that total output is determined by the formula: Total Output = Number of Workers x Productivity (a) If the workforce is growing by 1 percent a year but productivity doesn't improve, how fast can output increase? (b) If productivity increases by 3 percent and the number of workers increases by 1 percent a year, how fast will output grow?
