Q1. Industrial engineers periodically conduct “work measurement” analyses to determine the time used to produce a single unit of output. At a large processing plant, the total number of man-hours required per day to perform a certain task was recorded for 50 days. his information will be used in a work measurement analysis. The total man-hours required for each of the 50 days are listed below. 128 119 95 97 124 128 142 98 108 120 112 111 150 117 122 124 118 109 124 97 138 133 136 120 112 146 97 116 92 122 125 131 120 103 135 114 109 100 111 131 113 132 116 98 112 138 100 388 100 89

Step 1
To do this, we will add up all the man-hours and then divide by the number of days (50). Mean = $\frac{128 + 119 + 95 + 97 + 124 + 128 + 142 + 98 + 108 + 120 + 112 + 111 + 150 + 117 + 122 + 124 + 118 + 109 + 124 + 97 + 138 + 133 + 136 + 120 + 112 + 146 + 97 + 116 Show more…

Industrial learning curve. A company is producing a new product. Due to the nature of the product, the time required to produce each unit decreases as workers become more \intamiliar with the production procedure. It is determined that the function for the learning process is $$T(x)=2+0.3\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)$$ where $T(x)$ is the time, in hours, required to produce the $x$ th unit. Use this information. Find the total time required for a new worker to produce units 1 through $20 ;$ units 20 through 40

25. INDUSTRIAL EFFICIENCY Devi Singh is an efficiency expert working for a major industrial firm. She determines that the daily output of a worker who has been on the job for t weeks is given by a function of the form Q(t) = 40 - Ae^{-kt}. Devi observes that a typical worker produces 20 units a day initially and after 1 week, produces 30 units a day. How many units per day should Devi expect a typical worker to produce after 3 weeks?

A new factory worker is put to work assembling gadgets. He is fairly slow at first, but over a period of days gets much faster. His employer constructs the following table to evaluate is progress over the first 20 days he is on the job. Give an upper estimate for the number of gadgets the worker assembled the second 10 days on the job. (Use 2 intervals) Number of days on the job: 0, 5, 10, 15, 20 Number of gadgets assembled per day: 8, 15, 20, 23, 24
