Question

Auto Corp., a large auto parts store, did an experiment to see whether it was faster to have one person work on each car repair or have a team of people work together on a repair. It found that each employee, working independently, could do one to three auto repairs per day. However, when one person removed the old part, another person prepared the new part, and a third person installed the new part, they were able to complete up to twenty repairs per day. This scenario demonstrates that _____.

Answer 1

people can perform more efficiently if they master just one task rather than all tasks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Specialisation is the process by which a person becomes proficient at one particular ntask and in so doing they increase efficiency of production process.

In this scenario a single person performing the task can do one to three auto repairs per day. But if one person removed the old part, another person prepared the new part, and a third person installed the new part, they were able to complete up to twenty repairs per day.

That is an average of 20 ÷ 3= 6.667 per person per day.

This shows that people can perform more efficiently if they master just one task rather than all tasks.
