George works in an office entering data into a computer system. He can enter the information for 25 records in 1 hour and works for 4 hours each day from Monday to Friday, starting at 09:00. The company that George works for has the option of sending George on a training course on Monday. If he goes on the course then he will not be able to enter any data that day but will be able to enter the information for 35 records each hour once he has been trained.

(a) If George goes on the training course, at what time and on which day will he have entered the same number of records as he would have done had he not gone on the course?

Respuesta :

If George goes on the training course, on Thursday by 11:28 he will have entered the same number of records as he would have done had he not taken the course by his improved productivity.

What is productivity?

Productivity expresses the efficiency of the production of goods or services using some measure.

George's increased productivity means that he had become more efficient in entering records after the training than before.

Data and Calculations:

Number of records entered in one hour = 25

Number of hours worked per day = 4 hours

Working period = Monday to Friday or 5 days

Total number of records per week =500 (25 x 4 x 5)

Working time each day = 09:00 to 13:00

Number of records to be entered in one hour after training = 35

Number of days used to enter records = 3.57 days (500/35/4)

Improved productivity = 10 (35 - 25) records per hour

Thus, if George goes on the training course, his productivity would increase by 40% (10/25 x 100).
