The work measurement analyst in the XYZ Company wishes to develop standard data involving fast, repetitive manual motions for use in a light assembly department. Because of the shortness of the desired standard data elements, the analyst is obliged to measure them in groups as they are performed on the factory floor. On a certain study, this analyst is endeavoring to develop standard data for five elements which will be denoted as A, B, C, D, and E. Using a fast (0.001) decimal minute watch, the analyst studied a variety of assembly operations and arrived at the following data:
A + B + C = 0.131 minutes
B + C + D = 0.114 minutes
C + D + E = 0.074 minutes
D + E + A = 0.085 minutes
E + A + B = 0.118 minutes
Compute the standard data values for each of the elements A, B, C, D, and E.
