PROBLEM 2:

Problem 2-6

A manager checked production records and found that a worker produced 180 units while working 40 hours. In the previous week, the same worker produced 123 units while working 30 hours.

     

a.

Compute Current period productivity and Previous period productivity. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

   

 

 

 

  Current period productivity

Units / hr  

  Previous period productivity

b.

Did the worker's productivity increase, decrease, or remain the same? (Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 2 decimal places. Omit the "%" sign in your response.)

      

  Worker's productivity   by %  

 

2-7  

b.

Suppose a new, more standardized procedure is to be introduced that will enable each employee to process one additional customer per day. Compute the expected labor and multifactor productivity rates for each unit. (Round your "Labor Productivity" answers to 1 decimal place and "Multifactor Productivity" answers to 4 decimal places.)

A manager of a store that sells and installs spas wants to prepare a forecast for January, February, and March of next year. Her forecasts are a combination of trend and seasonality. She uses the following equation to estimate the trend component of monthly demand: Ft = 100 + 2t, where t = 0 in June of last year. Seasonal relatives are 1.13 for January, 1.07 for February, and .92 for March. What demands should she predict? (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

  Forecast

  January of the next year

 

  February of the next year

 

  March of the next year
