ABC Caps produced 220 000 caps with a value of R125 per cap in 2024. The company employed four workers at a cost of R80 000 in 2024. In 2025, the company increased its output to 280 000 with a value of R130 per cap. The company employed five workers at a cost of R90 000 in 2025.
Calculate the productivity index and state which of the following options is the correct productivity index for ABC Caps?
Calculate the productivity index and state which of the following options is the correct productivity index for ABC Caps?
B) 2025 = 6% decrease in productivity
C) 2025 = 7% increase in productivity
D) 2025 = 7% decrease in productivity
ANSWER: B
ANSWER: B
Inside work (IW) involves the task elements that can be conducted by a worker outside the machine-controlled or process-controlled times.
The aspects of labour control systems followed by management in an organisation follow a sequence. The correct sequence is: planning; measurement; comparison and evaluation; communication; and taking corrective action.
Machine interference is defined as “the queuing of machines (or processes) for attention, for example when one worker is responsible for attending to more than one machine”.
Which one of the following options denotes the definition of the concept “productivity”?
Machine idle time is defined as “the time during which a machine is available for production or ancillary work, but owing to a shortage of work, materials or workers, it includes the time that the plant is out of balance”.
