(3) A total of 1000 units of a certain product must be completed by the end of the current week. It is now late Monday afternoon, so only four days (8-hour shifts) are left. The standard time for producing each unit of the product (all manual operations) is 11.65 min. How many workers will be required to complete this production order if it is assumed that worker efficiency will be 115%

Answer:

6 workers

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation for How many workers will be required to complete this production order

First step is to find the Workload WL

Workload WL= 1,000(11.65)/1.15

Workload WL=11,650/1.15

Workload WL = 10,130.4 min

Workload WL converted from minutes to hour= 168.84 hr

Second step is to find the Available time

Available Time= 4(8.0)

Available Time= 32 hr/worker

Last step is to find How many workers will be required to complete this production order

Workers= 168.84/32

Workers = 5.28 Approximately 6 workers

Therefore 6 workers will be required to complete this production order.
