12. Halsey Plan Std Time= 10 Hrs Rate per hr= Re 1 Case 1 time taken= 10 Hrs Earnings = 10* 1 Case 2 Time taken = 10 Hrs earnings = 12* 1 Case 3 Time taken = 8 Hrs earnings = 8*1 Bonus = ½*2*1 = Rs 1.00 Rs 9.00
13. Rowan Plan Std Time= 10 Hrs Rate per Hr= Re 1 Case 1 time taken= 10 Hrs Earnings = 10* 1 Case 2 Time taken = 10 Hrs earnings = 12* 1 Case 3 Time taken = 8 Hrs earnings = 8*1 Bonus = 2/10*8 = Rs 1.60 Rs 9.60
14. Barth Plan Std Time= 10 Hrs Rate per Hr= Re 1 Case 1 time taken= 10 Hrs Earnings = 10 * 10 = 10*1= Rs 10.00 Case 2 Time taken = 12 Hrs earnings = 12* 10 = 10.95*1 = 10.95 Case 3 Time taken = 8 Hrs earnings = 8*10 = 8.94 * 1 = 8.94
15. Bedaux Plan Std Time= 10 Hrs Rate per Hr= Re 1 Case 1 time taken= 12 Hrs Earnings = 12 * 1 = 12.00 Case 2 Time taken = 8 Hrs earnings = 8*1 = 8.00 Bonus: Std Bs = 10*60 = 600 Actual Bs = 8*60 = 480 Bs saved = 120 Bonus 75 * 120*1 = Rs 1.50 100 60 Total earnings = 8+1.50 = Rs 9.50
16. Taylor’s Differential Piece-Rate Standard outputs: 100 Units Rate per Unit: 10 paise Differential to be applied: 120% of piece-rate at or above the standards 80% of piece-rate when below the standards Case 1: Outputs = 120 units Earnings = 120* 120 * 0.10 = Rs 14.40 100 Case 2: Outputs = 90 units Earnings = 90* 80 * 0.10 = Rs 7.20 100
17. Merrick Differential piece-rate Straight piece-rates less than 83% of the Std outputs 110% of the base-piece rate for 83%-100% of the Std outputs 120% of the base-piece rate for more than 100% of the Std outputs Case 1 Output = 80 units Efficiency = 80 *100 = 80% 100 Earnings: As the efficiency is less than 83%, only the base pie-rate applies: 80*0.10 = 8.00 Case 2 Output = 90 units Efficiency = 90 *100 = 90%of 100 Earnings: As the efficiency is 83% but less than 100%, 110% the base pie-rate applies: 90* 110 *0.10 = 9.90 100 Case 3 Output = 110 units Efficiency = 110 *100 = 110% 100 Earnings: As the efficiency exceeds 100%, 120% of the base piece-rate applies: 110* 120 *0.10 = 13.20 100
18. Gantt Task System Rate per Hr =Re 0.50 High piece-rate = Re 0.10 Std Outputs = 80 units Time taken = 8 Hrs Std Bonus = 20% Case 1 Output = 70 units Earnings As the output is less than the standard only time wages are paid to the worker =8*0.50=Rs 4.00 Case 2 Output =80 units Earnings As the output is equal to the standard, the worker is entitled to time wage plus 20% bonus Time wages =8*0.50= Rs 4.00 Bonus = 20*4 = Re 0.80 100 Total earnings = Rs 4.80 Case 3 Output =110 units As the output is more than th Std, the worker is entitled to a high piece rate 10*0.10= Rs 11.00
19. Emerson’s Plan Up to 67% of efficiency, the workr is determined by dividing the time taken by the Std Time-rate Up to 100% efficiency, 20% bonus is paid to workers An additional bonus of Rs 1% is added for each additional 1% eficiency Case 1 Output in 10 Hrs: 50 units Efficiency: 50%( below 67%, the worker is eligible for 50% of the time wae as bonus) Case 2 Output in 10 Hrs : 100 units Efficiency : 100% (time-wage + 20% bonus) Case 3 : Output in 10 Hrs : 130 units Efficiency : 130% At the rate of 20% at 100% efficiency and 1% increase for every 1% increase in Efficiency, the worker is eligible for 50% of the time wage as bonus: Time wag =10*1 Rs 10.00 Bonus = 50 *10.00 Rs 5.00 100 Rs 15.00
