Question

In an assembly operation at a furniture factory, 4 employees assembled an average of 600 standard dining chairs per 6-day work week. What is the labor productivity of this operation

Answer 1

25 chairs per employee.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case labour productivity is the number of dining chairs per day over number of employees.

An average of 600 standard dining chairs were assembled per 6-day work week.

This means that, the number of dining chairs assembled per day is

`(600)/(6) = 100`

The number if employees is 4.

Therefore the labour productivity of this operation is:

`(100)/(4) = 25`

per employee.
