Question

A plant utilizes 4 full time workers and 1 part time (half time) worker in one 8 hours shift and produces 150 parts in that shift. What is the labor productivity?

a. 3.5 parts per hour
b. 5.3 parts per hour
c. 2.17 parts per hour
d. 4.17 parts per hour

Answer 1

Answer: d. 4.17 parts per hour

Explanation:

There are 4 fulltime workers and 1 halftime worker working in 8 hour shifts.

= 4 workers * 8 hours

= 32 hours

Halftime worker = 8/2 = 4 hours

Total hours = 32 + 4 = 36 hours

Labor productivity = Quantity produced/Hours

= 150/36

= 4.17 parts per hours
