Q

What is min-max regret?

A

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.

21
Q

Total Present Worth

A

Profit(1+i)^(-year) - cost(1+i)^(-year)

22
Q

Advantage of work sampling

A

Only needs one observer for many operators where traditional methods need more than one/operator

23
Q

Advantage of work sampling

A

Overall takes up less time since the operator doesn’t have to be observed for an entire process, but just a specific action.

24
Q

Three work measurement techniques.

A

Time study, Standard Data, Work Sampling

25
Q

How long it takes a worker to perform a task.

A

Observed time.

26
Q

The observed time * Work Rating

A

Normal Time

27
Q

Normal Time * ( 1 + PFD)

A

Standard Time

28
Q

Short duration & not recordable; dropped from the total OT and the # of observations.

A

Circled Wild Elements

29
Q

Recordable; Subtracted from the total OT for a work element; The # of samples is not reduced due to this element.

A

Lettered Foreign Elements

30
Q

Calculating Cycles of element operations (equation)

A

n = ( t * s/k*x)^2

t - t statistic not alpha/2

31
Q

True or False: Predetermined Time Systems are basically synthetic times.

A

True

32
Q

What is the performance ratings assumed in MTM-1 pre-determined motion times.

A

100% of workers

33
Q

Work Factors Considered in defining a move in the MTM-1 system (4)

A

Distance to move, object weight, dynamic factors, static factors

34
Q

Return on Sales

A

Average(Gross Profit)/Average(Increase of Sales)

35
Q

Return on Investment

A

Average(Gross Profit)/Total Investment

36
Q

Payback Period

A

1/(ROI%)

37
Q

Total Present Worth

A

Average(Time valued)

38
Q

Efficiency of line with 1 operator

A

(Sum of Standard Time/ # of operations)/ Largest Std. Time

39
Q

Picking the minimum number of machines for an operator leads to…

A

operator idle time

40
Q

Picking the maximum number of machines for an operator leads to…

A

machine idle time

41
Q

Three main outcomes of time study?

A

Fair pay, fair time, decrease cost/increase efficiency

42
Q

First 4 steps of the Methods Engineering Process

A
  1. Select project
  2. Get and Present Data
  3. Analyze Data
  4. Develop method for implementation
43
Q

Last 4 steps of the Methods Engineering Process

A
  1. Present and Install Method
  2. Develop Job analysis
  3. Time study of method
  4. Follow up
44
Q

This chart identifies ares of improvement in a system of multiple machines and one worker by showing idle times of machines.

A

Worker & machine process chart

45
Q

This chart essentially depicts the ideal layout of a plant.

A

Flow Diagram

46
Q

Q_i = P(X) (Max outcome) + (1-P(X)) (min outcome)

A

Coefficient of Optimism - X (MCDM)

47
Q

For each state multiply the alternative by the given probability. The highest sum of the alternatives is to be picked.

A

Expected Return MCDM

48
Q

What is the ADA 1991

A

-Requires companies with >= 15 employees to make reasonable accommodation for disabled people who can perform the majority of the skills for a job.

49
Q

ADA effects on Job desciptions

A
  • Made job descriptions more specific so unqualified people would not apply.
50
Q

Three main difference between Job Analysis and Job Evaluation

A
  • Analysis precedes evaluation
  • Analysis focuses on detail specific to job function
  • Evaluation uses analysis to determine the worth of the job to the company, done by a committee.
