Exercise 160

Do a time and motion study on how Ann spends her working day. Start by reading the description:

 

She starts work at 9.30 and leaves at 5.30. She has an hour for lunch. She types for about one and a half hours every morning and for about an hour in the afternoon. She does the filing for about half an hour a day and spends the same amount of time taking shorthand. Making tea or coffee takes about a quarter of an hour and she does it twice a day. She spends about an hour and a half on the phone. The rest of the time she spends doing other things, such as talking to people, opening the mail, reading the newspaper etc.

 

1. How long does Anne spend at work each day (including her lunch hour)?

2. How long does she spend doing each of these things per day?

typing – filing – shorthand – phone – tea/coffee – lunch – miscellaneous (everything else)

3. What percentage of her time does she spend doing each thing?

NBThis formula will help you calculate percentages:

 

eg = =12 % (So 1 hour = 12 %)
