BADM 621Group ProjectAnalysis of Key Factors in Absenteeism Rate in Classes Presented by Deepak P Gupta Subodh Chaudhari Yogesh Mardikar Graduate Students Industrial and Management Systems Engineering Oct 19, 2005
Objective • Minimize the absenteeism rate in different classes • Define the factors affecting the absenteeism rate • Analyze the relationship between the factors and the absenteeism rate • Recommend the level of factors to be used in scheduling the classes
Factors in Absenteeism Rate • Class level • 200, 300, 400, Graduate • Length of the class • 1 hr, 1.5 hr • Start time • Morning, Day, Afternoon/evening • Day of the class • Monday,…, Friday
Methodology • Sample selection • Classes in Industrial and Management Systems Engineering (IMSE) department • Department Approval • Department Chair • Graduate Program Coordinator • Undergraduate Program Coordinator • Identify the classes to be monitored • 18 separate classes
Data Collection • Obtain the number of students registered for different classes • Monitor the number of students attending classes • 82 data points collected in 2 weeks • Data collection involved counting the student at the start of the class until after 10 minutes of the start time
Data Preparation • Different number of students registered in different classes • Identification of standard variable to be used for data analysis • Percentage absenteeism rate • Encoding the actual class numbers to different levels • Name of the instructor has not been included even though it may have an effect on the absenteeism rate
Results • Class level vs. absenteeism rate
Results • Class level vs. absenteeism rate (Contd.) • Scheffe post hoc analysis
Results • Length of class vs. absenteeism rate • F-Test: Two sample for variances
Results • Length of class vs. absenteeism rate (Contd.) μ1> μ2 μ1≠ μ2
Results • Time of class vs. absenteeism rate • ANOVA
Results • Time of class vs. absenteeism rate (Contd.) • Scheffe’s post hoc analysis
Results • Day(s) of class vs. absenteeism rate • ANOVA
Recommendations • To reduce absenteeism in classes • Class duration should be 1.5 hrs rather than 1 hr • More classes should be scheduled towards evening (after 2:00 PM) and times between noon and 2:00 PM should be avoided
Conclusion • Effect of different factors is analyzed and the results are presented • The results can be used in making intelligent decisions about the class scheduling • Further analysis can be performed in other departments to make the analysis more realistic
