As pit crew manager for Rusty Wallace’s NASCAR team (see the Global Company Profile that opens this chapter), you would like to evaluate how your “Jackman” (JM) and “Gas Man #1” (GM #1) are utilized. Recent stopwatch studies have verified the following times:
PIT CREW | ACTIVITY | TIME (SECONDS) |
JM | Move to right side of car and raise car | 4.0 |
GM #1 | Move to rear gas filler | 2.5 |
JM | Wait for tire | 1.0 |
JM | Move to left side of car and raise car | 3.8 |
GM #1 | Load fuel (per gallon) | 0.5 |
JM | Wait for tire | 1.2 |
JM | Move back over wall from left side | 2.5 |
GM #1 | Move back over the wall from gas filler | 2.5 |
Use an activity chart similar to the one in Figure 10.6 as an aid.
