A work study engineer at a Hyderabad plant finds standard time of 6 minutes per unit. How many units should a worker produce in an 8-hour shift, if the standard time already includes all allowances?
The worker should produce 80 units. An 8-hour shift has 480 minutes, and with a standard time of 6 minutes per unit that already includes allowances, output is 480 divided by 6, which equals 80 units.
- A60 units
- B80 unitsCorrect
- C48 units
- D100 units
Explanation
Shift = 8 × 60 = 480 minutes. Output = 480/6 = 80 units. Since standard time already includes allowances, no further deduction from the shift is needed. 60 would arise by wrongly using 8 minutes per unit.
