n employee produces 2,080 hours of work in the course of a year, how many employees will be required for the coding area if the coding time on average for one record is 30 minutes and there are 12, 500 records that must be coded each year?
12500 rec * 30min/rec * 1hr/60min * 1emp/2080hr = (12500*30)/(60*2080) = 3.0 emp
To determine the number of employees required for the coding area, we can follow these steps:
Step 1: Calculate the total coding time required for one record.
One record takes 30 minutes to code.
Step 2: Calculate the total coding time required for all records.
There are 12,500 records that need to be coded each year.
Total coding time = Number of records * Time per record
Total coding time = 12,500 records * 30 minutes
Step 3: Convert the total coding time to hours.
In a year, there are typically 2,080 hours of work.
To convert the coding time from minutes to hours, we divide by 60.
Total coding time (in hours) = (12,500 records * 30 minutes) / 60
Step 4: Calculate the number of employees required.
To find the number of employees required, we divide the total coding time required by the number of productive hours per employee (2,080 hours).
Number of employees = Total coding time (in hours) / Productive hours per employee
Number of employees = [(12,500 records * 30 minutes) / 60] / 2,080 hours
Now, let's calculate the number of employees required for the coding area:
Number of employees = [(12,500 * 30) / 60] / 2,080
Number of employees = 125,000 / 2,080
Number of employees ≈ 60.096
Rounded up, you would need approximately 61 employees for the coding area.
To find out how many employees will be required for the coding area, we need to calculate the total coding time required to complete 12,500 records and then divide it by the total work hours produced by one employee in a year.
Step 1: Calculate the total coding time required to complete 12,500 records.
Since the coding time for one record is 30 minutes, the total coding time required for 12,500 records can be calculated as:
Total coding time = Number of records × Coding time per record
Total coding time = 12,500 × 30 minutes
Step 2: Convert the coding time to hours.
Since the total coding time is currently in minutes, we need to convert it to hours to match the work hours produced by one employee in a year. There are 60 minutes in an hour, so the total coding time in hours can be calculated as:
Total coding time (in hours) = Total coding time (in minutes) ÷ 60
Step 3: Calculate the number of employees required.
Now, we divide the total coding time (in hours) by the work hours produced by one employee in a year to find the number of employees required for the coding area. Given that one employee produces 2,080 hours of work in a year, the number of employees required can be calculated as:
Number of employees required = Total coding time (in hours) ÷ Work hours produced by one employee
Let's calculate the values in each step:
Step 1: Total coding time = 12,500 × 30 minutes
= 375,000 minutes
Step 2: Total coding time (in hours) = 375,000 minutes ÷ 60
= 6,250 hours
Step 3: Number of employees required = 6,250 hours ÷ 2,080 hours/year
= 3 employees (approximately)
Therefore, approximately 3 employees will be required for the coding area to complete 12,500 records within a year, assuming the coding time for one record is 30 minutes and one employee produces 2,080 hours of work in a year.
