Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A construction site has a truck cycle time of 45 minutes and a loader cycle time of 10 minutes. Calculate the balance number and discuss implications for productivity.

💡 Hint: Make sure to consider the implications of overloading the system.

Question 2

Suppose the cost of the loader increases to 3,000 per hour while truck costs stay the same. Recalculate total production costs for 5 to 9 trucks and tell which offers the best unit production cost.

💡 Hint: Be sure to recalculate productivity since the loader's cost has changed.
