The average number of dining chairs assembled per five-working day week was 450 in an assembly process of a furniture plant. 6 workers were working in this process throughout the measurement interval. What is the labor productivity in this process?
-
a.15 chairs/worker/day
-
b.20 chairs/worker/day
-
c.90 chairs/worker/day
-
d.60 chairs/worker/day
-
f.75 chairs/worker/day
Homework Answers
The average number of chairs assembled per 5 working day week by 6 workers = 450 chairs
The number of chairs assembled in 1 working day by 6 workers = 450/5 = 90 chairs
as 90 chairs are assembled by 6 workers in 1 working day, this cannot be the answer.
6 workers were working in the process during the measurement interval which is 1 week (5 days)
6 workers finished 90 chairs in a day.
1 worker would finish 90 /6 = 15 chairs a day
Hence the labor productivity = 15 chairs/worker/day
Another way :
The average number of chairs assembled per 5 working day week by 6 workers = 450 chairs
On an average 1 worker assembles 450 / 6 = 75 chairs in 5 working day week.
As 75 chairs are assembled by 1 worker in 5 days, this is not correct answer
1 worker assembles an average of 75 / 5 = 15 chairs in 1 day
Hence the labor productivity = 15 chairs/worker/day
Options b and d are also not correct as these are unrelated numbers.
The correct answer is a. 15 chairs / worker / day.
