Operations Management and Factors Affecting Productivity (100 points)

Maduro Cleaning is a small organization that provides cleaning services to both residential and commercial clients. As a small organization, the owner assigns crews of two, three, or four employees to jobs each morning but the owner does not have a good method of determining a reasonable amount of time that each cleaning should take. The owner decided to keep data on job times and crew sizes in the hopes of developing a productivity measure.

Address the following requirements:

  • Calculate which of the crew sizes has the best productivity per worker, and explain your method.
  • Evaluate your outcome and the possible reasons that would explain those results.
  • Project what the productivity might be for a crew size of five and explain your reasoning.
