Question
Explain how Personal, Fatigue, and Delay studies could be used to better allocate and more fairly allocate the time of all the employees who work in the Service Area to the specific automobiles that are serviced in the service department of a major automobile dealership in North Georgia. Include the repair technicians, the parts department employees, the employees who answer the telephone, the employees who receive and process customer payments, and the employees who greet the customers and schedule their vehicles into the service garage.
See below for detailed example.

Direct labour always given Personal, Fatigue and delay allowences while calculate the cycle time. These allowences vary depends upon industry type and nature of work. So there is a procedure to calculate the cycle time of assigned work.
1.Calculate the total available work time excluding lunch break, afternoon break or any other break.
2.Then calculate the assigned process time by stopwatch for different repetitively task.
3.Then calulate cycle time by formula given below:
cycle time = Total Time available / total customer requirement.
4. Observe the peronal, fatigue & Delay (PFD) time for indirect labour.
5. Calculate the percent of PFD allowences by the formula given below:
PFD allowences %= Total PFD time/ Total available work time*100
6. Calculate the waiting, Queue & Inspection time by the formula:
Total WQI time % = total WQI time/ Total time available*100
7. Calculate the standard time= Cycle time + cycle time* (PFD allowence/100)
8. Total parts completed in actual work hour (T)= Actual available work time(A) / standard time (S)
9. Productivity(P)= 100- Total WQI time
10 Actual parts complete by employee= T*P/100
This can be defined as a actual output by single employee. So task can be assigned on the basis of above formula. Basically PFD allownces is measure to calculate the standard time of operation. So that we can calculate the actual output of employee.
