Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
If the loader's productivity rises to 100 cubic meters per hour, determine how this affects the balance number and the optimal number of trucks required.
💡 Hint: Try recalculating using the new cycle times.
For a construction site operation with a fixed budget, suggest the optimal number of trucks if maintaining a production cost below 170 rupees per cubic meter is crucial.
💡 Hint: Calculate each iteration to stay under the budget.
