Carbondale Casting produces cast bronze valves on a 10-person assembly line. On a recent day, 160 valves were produced during an 8-hour shift. Given Input 10- person assembly line 10 x 8 (hours shift) 80 labour hours per day Output 160 valves a) Calculate the labor productivity of the line. unit produced input used = 160 valves/80 labor hours per day = 2 valves per labor hours b) John Goodale, the manager at Carbondale, changed the layout and was able to increase production to 180 units per 8-hour shift. What is the new labor productivity per labor-hour? Input = 10 person assembly line 10 x 8 (hours shift) 80 labour hours per day Output = 180 unit of valves unit produced input used 180 valves 80 labour hours 225 valves per labour hours. c.) What is the percentage of productivity increase = 2.23-2 2 0.125 or 12.5% increase
