Question

The manager of a crew that installs carpeting has tracked the crew's output over the past several weeks, obtaining these figures:

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

a. The computation of labor productivity for each of the weeks is shown below:-

Week Crew size Yards installed labor productivity

1 4 97 24.25

2 3 71 23.67

3 4 98 24.5

4 2 54 27

5 3 63 21

6 2 52 26

Therefore for computing the labor productivity for each week we simply divide the yards installed by crew size.

b. Perhaps even-sized crews are better than uncommon sizes and a crew of 2 seems to be performing best among the others
