Pure lithium, (as exposed by a freshly cut surface), oxidizes rapidly in air to form a thin oxide coating, dull silvery-gray in appearance, that thickens over time to a black lithium oxide tarnish. Conditions of high ambient air temperature and humidity hasten this process.

Job was timed for 60 cycles and had an average of 1.6 minutes per piece. The performance rating was 91 percent and workday allowances are 19 percent. Determine each of the following?

To determine the standard time per piece, first calculate the normal time by multiplying the average time per piece (1.6 minutes) by the performance rating (91%): 1.6 minutes × 0.91 = 1.456 minutes. Then, to find the standard time, incorporate the workday allowances (19%): Standard Time = Normal Time / (1 - Allowance) = 1.456 minutes / (1 - 0.19) ≈ 1.800 minutes per piece. Thus, the standard time per piece is approximately 1.800 minutes.
