Question

1. We want to find a standard time. An employee works at a speed of 125%, explain what will happen to the timed time and why? (6 pts)

Answer 1

Lets assume standard time its 10 hours of a particular work.

If employee is working at 125% speed this means he is completing task , earlier than 10 hours.

125% is efficiency

efficiency ratio is standard hours / actual hours

125% = 10 / actual hours

Actual hours = 8 hours

So there is a saving of 2 hours less than standard

In percentage savings 10-8/10 = 20 percent

So ACTUAL TIME IS 20% LESS THAN ACTUAL TIME. OR STANDARD TIME 25% MORE THAN ACTUAL TIME

So Timed time will reduce less than standard . This is because worker is performing better than standard which leads to less time consumption then standard hours. hence saving in time.
