Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a pusher with a cycle time of 8 minutes and a scraper loading time of 5 minutes, calculate how many scrapers can be effectively served by this pusher.

💡 Hint: Think about the relationship between loading time and operational efficiency.

Question 2

In a hypothetical scenario, a construction team has two pushers and five scrapers. If the pusher cycle time is decreased to 6 minutes due to improved efficiency, evaluate how this affects the overall operation if the original cycle time was 10 minutes.

💡 Hint: Consider how the new cycle time impacts the coordination and performance of the scrapers.
