Question:

The killing and disassembly of a hog in a slaughter plant is very' labour-intensive, because the tasks cannot easily be automated. This is because each hog is slightly different and the carcasses cannot in general be held in place in a consistent way in order to automate the work. To achieve the target production (which is high in order to make a profit), tasks need to be very specialized. For example, one task is called “snatching guts.” Suppose you are helping tire industrial engineer to determine the standard time for this task. The videotape of five cycles revealed the following task times (in seconds): 14, 13, 13, 12, and 14. Assume performance rating of .90 and allowance of 15 percent of job time. Calculate the standard time for this task.6
