Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The methods analysis chart that describes the overall sequence of operations, transportation, storage, delays, and inspection is a flow process chart. A worker-machine chart is used to analyze the way in which machine use and worker activity are synchronized. A gang process chart is used to study the activities of groups of workers who perform the same task. A simultaneous-motion chart is used to analyze the activities of two or more persons who are performing the same task on different pieces of equipment. A time/efficiency chart is used to show the relationship between the time taken to perform a task and the efficiency of the worker. Therefore, the best choice in this scenario is A, flow process chart.
