Question

Gibson Valves produces cast bronze valves on an assembly line, currently producing 1600 valves each 8-hour shift. a. The productivity of the line is: [ Select ] b. If the productivity is increased by 10%, the productivity would be: [ Select ] c. If the production is increased to 2000 valves per shift, labor productivity will increase by: [ Select ]

Answer 1

a. The productivity of the line is 220 valves per hour.

b. The labor productivity will be increased by 25%.

a. The productivity of the line is

= Number of valves produced ÷ number of hours × increased percentage

= 1,600 valves ÷ 8 hours × 1.10

= 220 valves per hour

b. The labor productivity will be increased by

= Increase in production ÷  Number of valves produced

= 2,000 ÷ 1600

= 1.25

So, the labor productivity will be increased by 25%.
