I have always found there are so many variables that having an expectation of setting a set number is not always possible. I feel they should be compared to their own standards and not of their co-workers. If they can cut or embed a set number on a particular than they should maintain or gradually increase (for newer techs) over time. . I have seen where in one day they cut so many blocks when the work load mandates it but on a slower day it takes them just as much time to cut half as many blocks. The work pace should be at their comfort level but should be a standard rate.

Depends on the length of time your "day" is for a repetitive task. Assigning an arbitrary number is counterproductive. -----Original Message----- From: histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu [mailto:histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu] On Behalf Of Ellen Sent: Monday, January 12, 2015 1:57 PM To: histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu Subject: [Histonet] Block Counts I'm looking for raw data on time studies that directly deal with the number of blocks a PA can produce in a day and how many a histo tech can cut a day.
