A warehouse employs five people to pick items off its shelves and pack them into boxes. It has derived set times for each element of the job as follows: make up case (0.5 minutes), pick items off shelves (12.0 minutes), pack items in case (5.0 minutes), print despatch note (2.0 minutes), seal the case (1.0 minutes) and stack the case (2.0 minutes). The first three activities are classed as medium effort, the fourth and fifth activities are classed as light effort and the final activity is classed as heavy effort. Using Table 9.6, allocate allowances to each of these activities assuming that warehouse staff perform the tasks standing and all other conditions are normal. What is the standard time for packing a case? If the team pack an average of 80 cases in a 7.5-hour day, what is their productivity?
