A construction site uses back-track loading, with an average return time of 8 minutes and load time of 5 minutes. If they switch to chain loading, predict the potential time savings in completing a cycle.
💡 Hint: Compare the total cycle times of both methods.
If a project requires 100 loads and the pusher cycles every 3 minutes, how many scrapers would ideally be needed to keep up with this pace without delays?
