ENGINEERING METHOD EXERCISES II
1. On an automobile assembly line, the operator takes a part weighing 14

kilograms with both hands and places it on the press table. The piece is
located at 45.7 cm. from a distance and the movement must be visually
directed. The distance between the press and the table on which the finished
piece is placed is 30 cm. The holes have a tolerance of 0.079 cm. Determine
the normal time in minutes (using the BMT table)

The table shows the frequencies with which the actions of the observed
operators are rated, using the subjective rating method.
Total production over 5 days was 465 assemblies. The study was designed
for an initial percentage working 78%. It is desired that 94% of the time the
observed probability of the sample carried out does not deviate beyond 7%,
from the P of the population. Determine the normal time, if the workday is
7.5 hr./day and the global tolerances assigned by the company are 19%.

3. Determine, using the respective tables, the execution times of the following
operations, in hours:
a) MTM: Move a piece weighing 11Kg, between points separated by
approximately 50 centimeters.
b) BTM: With the right hand, move a piece weighing 3 kilograms from a
point A located in the normal work area to a point Bs 30 centimeters
from the previous one and leave it in that place.
a) MTM  P=11 Kg
D= 40 cm
b) BTM  P= 3 Kg

The speed rating obtained by the subjective method is as follows:

109 15
110 6
115 2
Determine the normal operation time if the work day is 8 hr/day and 4 pieces are
produced per cycle.
5. During a work sampling study carried out on a group of operators, it was

determined that these operators remained busy for 80% of the time. The
study was done in 3 days (8hr/day) during which 250 pieces were produced.
Each time the workers were found working, their speed was rated using the
subjective method, obtaining the following frequency distribution:
CV (%) F
90 25
95 45
105 50
110 100
Determine the execution time of the operation.

Data:
Production = 250 pieces
Time = 3 days x 8 hours
Working time = 80%
Speed rating
Cycle Cv(%) F
1 90 25
2 95 45
3 105 50
4 110 100
Time converted to minutes
8 hrs x 60 min/1 hr = 480 min / day

Time occupied = 0.80 x 480 min = 384 min
Time after 3 days
T=3 days x 384 min= 1152 minutes occupied.
Tps= min/cycle = min/pieces

Tps= 1152 min =4.608 min/pieces
