The term Rating in time study? What are the various methods used for rating?
Describe them. Explain the various allowances added to normal time to find
Standerd time.
Question 2. The total observed time for an application i.e. assembling of a switch is 2.00min. If
The rating is 120%, find normal time. If total allowed is 10% for that job, determine
The standard time.
Rest and personal allowances may be taken as 12% of the normal time. Find the
Standard time.

Question 1. What is work sampling and how is it work? What are the advantages and
Disadvantages of work sampling over time study?
Question 2. A work sampling study was conducted for 100 hours in the machine shop in order
To estimate the standard time. The total numbers of observations recorded were
2500. No working activity could be noticed for 400 observations. The ratio
Between manual and machine elements was 2:1. Average rating factor was
Estimated as 1.15 and the total numbers of articles produced during the study
Period were 6000.
Question 3. A work sampling study showed that 20% of a work week of 48 hours was
Consumed by avoidable delays. If each times a work sampling observation was
made the operator was rated and the average of such ratings was 110%. If 100 units
Were produced by the operator in that period, calculate standard time.

Question 3. A firm manufactures two products A & B on which the profits earned per unit are
Rs. 3 & Rs. 4, respectively. Each product is processed on two machines M1 and M2.
Product A requires one minute of processing time on M1 and two minute on M2,
While B requires one minute on M1 and one minute on M2. Machine M1 is available
for not more than 7 hours 30 minutes while machine M2 is available for 10 hours
During any working day. Find the number of units of products A and B need to be
Manufactured to get maximum profit. Formulate the above as a LPP and solve by
graphical method.
Question 4. A factory has two bottling plants located at A and B respectively. Each plant

produces three drinks- whisky, beer and fruit juices named P, Q, R respectively.
The numbers of bottles produced per day are as follows:

Plant at

Whisky
Beer
Fruit juices

P

In a particular month ,there will be demand of 20000 bottles of whisky, 40000

bottles of beer and 44000 bottles of fruit juices. The operating cost per day at A and
B are 600 and 400 monetary units. For minimizing the production cost , for how
many days each plant be run still meeting the market demand by the graphical
methods.
