Question

There are three car manufacturing factories A,B and C and they are producing the same type of cars.they are employing 1000,2000, and 3000 men and producing 10,15, and 25 cars per month respectively.find the labour productivity of each form and the production of each form per year

Answer 1

A: 0.010 cars/man·month, 120 cars/year

B: 0.0075 cars/man·month, 180 cars/year

C: 0.0083 cars/man·month, 300 cars/year

Step-by-step explanation:

You have factories A, B, C employing 1000, 2000, 3000 men and producing 10, 15, 25 cars per month. You want to know the productivity and annual production of each factory.

Productivity

Productivity is output per input. In this case, the input is measured in man·months. The output is measured in cars.

A: 10 cars/(1000 man·months) = 0.010 cars/man·month

B: 15 cars/(2000 man·months) = 0.0075 cars/man·month

C: 25 cars/(3000 man·months) ≈ 0.0083 cars/man·month

Production

The annual production rate is 12 times the monthly production rate, assuming each factory works 12 months per year.

A: 10 cars/mo · 12 mo/yr = 120 cars/yr

B: 15 cars/mo · 12 mo/yr = 180 cars/yr

C: 25 cars/mo · 12 mo/yr = 300 cars/yr
