    Northern Borders University Subject: Work Study IE341

    Faculty of Engineering Date: 6/5/1435, Time allowed: 1.5 Hrs


    Second Term 1435/1436, Total Marks: 20 Points
    Mid Term Exam Instructors: Dr. Mohamed Mostafa
    Solve the Following Problems
    1. What is a work element? (2 Points)
    2. What are some of the functions included within the scope of work
    management? (2 Points)
    3. There are 15 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 650 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. (4 Points)
    (b) What is the labor productivity ratio of the forge shop, expressed as parts
    per worker-hour? (2 Points)

    4. What is the one best method principle? (2 Points)


    5. What is a worker-machine system? (2 Points)
    6. The normal time to perform a certain manual work cycle is 3.47 min. In
    addition, an irregular work element whose normal time is 3.70 min must be
    performed every 10 cycles. One work unit is produced each cycle. The PFD
    allowance factor is 15%. Determine
    (a) the standard time per piece and (2 Points)
    (b) how many work units are produced during an 8-hour shift at 100%
    performance, and the worker works exactly 7.018 hr, which corresponds
    to the 15% allowance factor. (2 Points)
    (c) If the worker’s pace is 125% and he works 7.2 hours during the regular
    shift, how many units are produced? (2 Points)

    With My Best Wishes


    Subject: Work Study IE341 Mid Term Exam Answer

    1. Answer: A work element is defined as a series of work activities that


    are logically grouped together because they have a unified function in
    the task.
    2. Answer: The functions of work management include
    (1) Organizing the workers to perform the specialized tasks that constitute the
    workload in each department,
    (2) Motivating the workers to perform the tasks,
    (3) Evaluating the jobs in the organization so that each worker is paid an
    appropriate wage or salary commensurate with the type of work
    performed,
    (4) Appraising the performance of workers to reward better-performing
    workers appropriately, and
    (5) Compensating the workers using a rational payment system for the work
    they perform.
    3. Solution: (a) Time to produce a batch = TB
    TB = 3.0(60) + (45/60)(600) = 180 + 450 = 630 min = 10.5 hr
    Hours/month = 8(21) = 168 hr/mo
    Rp = 168/10.5 = 16 batches/mo per press
    With 20 presses, Rp = 20(16) = 320 batches/mo
    With Q = 600 pc/batch, Rp = 320(600) = 192,000 pc/mo
    (b) Total labor hours during month = 8(21)(2 x 20 + 2 + 3) = 168(45) = 7560
    hr/mo
    LPR = 192,000/7560 = 25.4 pc/wrkr-hr
    4. Answer: According to the one best method principle, of all the possible
    alternative methods that can be used to perform a task, there is one
    optimal method that minimizes the time and effort required to
    accomplish it. It is also a safe method that produces a high quality
    work unit.
    5. Answer: A worker-machine system is a work system in which the
    worker operates powered equipment.
    6. Solution: (a) Tstd = (3.47 + 3.70/10)(1 + 0.14) = 4.378 min
    (b) Qstd = 8(60)/4.378 = 109.6 pc (if rounded, 109 pc)
    (c) Tn = 3.47 +.37 = 3.84 min
    Tc = 3.84/1.20 = 3.2 min
    Daily Rp = 7.2(60)/3.2 = 135 pc
