AEstimating percentage utilisation of machines
-
BEstimating percentage time spent on various activities
-
CFinding time standards where stop watch study is impractical
-
DAll of the above
Answer
Correct Answer: All of the above
Explanation
ConceptWork sampling uses random observations over time to statistically estimate proportions (e.g., machine busy/idle, operator activity mix). It also supports setting standards for non-repetitive or long-cycle work where stop watch studies are difficult.
Final AnswerAll of the above
