The three components of Total Work Content in an operation:
Total Operation Time, Total Work Content, Total ineffective time
Total Operation Time
i. Total time of operation under existing conditions
ii. Total time of operation under future conditions when methods engineering, standards, and work design are not practiced.
Total Work Content
i. Basic
ii. Excess WC from design or spec. defects
iii. Excess WC from poor methods
Total ineffective Time
i. Due to management shortcomings
ii. Factors under worker control
Slack Event Time
i. Tolerable delay in start of activity
1. LS_i – ES_i
Slack Activity Time
i. Tolerable delay in time to complete activity
1. LS_j – ES_i – T_ij
four principles of motion economy:
a. Minimize eye fixation
b. Plan for curved motions
c. Plan frequent and intermittent breaks that are brief
d. Design tasks so that most workers can do them.
List and describe the five classes of human movement by body parts:
a. Fingers: Typing and grasping
b. Wrist: Positioning a part
c. Forearm: Placing part in bin
d. Shoulder/Upper Arm: Reaching for something on a high shelf.
e. Whole Body/ Truck: Lifting a heavy box.

What is min-max regret?
For each state, find the max . Then subtract each alternative. When this is done for all the states, find the max in each , the min of the max’s is the answer.
What is minimum satisfactory?
For each state that is > than the level of aspiration add the probabilities. The alternative with the largest probability is the one to choose.
