A time study of an assembly operation yielded the following observed times for one element of the job, for which the analyst gave a performance rating of 1.13. Using an allowance of 20 percent of job time, determine the appropriate standard time for this operation.
n = 9\quad PR = 1.13\quad A = .20

1 | 1.12 | 6 | 1.18 |
2 | 1.15 | 7 | 1.14 |
3 | 1.16 | 8 | 1.14 |
4 | 1.12 | 9 | \underline{\qquad 1.19} |
5 | 1.15 | Total 10.35 |
1. \mathrm{OT}\;=\;{\frac{\Sigma{x}i}{n}}\;=\;{\frac{10.35}{9}}\;=\;1.15~\mathrm{minutes}.
2. \mathrm{NT}=\mathrm{OT}=\mathrm{PR}=1.15(1.13)=1.30\,\mathrm{minutes}.
3. \mathrm{ST}=\mathrm{NT}\times(1+A)=1.30(1.20)=1.56\,\mathrm{minutes}.
