The manager of a crew that installs carpeting has tracked the crew’s output over the past several weeks, obtaining these figures: Week Crew Size Yards Installed 1 4 97 2 3 69 3 4 97 4 2 54 5 3 66 6 2 50 a. Compute the labor productivity for each of the weeks. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) Week Crew size Labour productivity (Yards) 1 4 2 3 3 4 4 2 5 3 6 2 b. On the basis of your calculations, what can you conclude about crew size and productivity? Possibly even sized crews are better than odd sizes and a crew of 2 seems to work best.
