He selects four operators for the study so that he can also test if there will be variation based on the operators. Furthermore- he knows that each assembly method produces such fatigue that the time required for the last assembly may be greater than the time required for the first assembly. Hence he must also test the different orderes of the assembly. To account for all the sources he decides to use latin-square procedure and obtain the following results:\r<BR>\n" );
