Practice Questions

Test your understanding with targeted questions related to the topic.

Question 1

Easy

Calculate the balance number of trucks given truck cycle time is 39.5 seconds and loader cycle time is 5.5 seconds.

💡 Hint: Divide the truck cycle time by the loader cycle time.

Question 2

Easy

If you have 6 trucks, with each having a productivity of 12.53 m³/h, what is the total productivity?

💡 Hint: Multiply the number of trucks by the individual truck productivity.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a loader's productivity is capped at 90 m³/hr and a truck's cycle time is not constant, determine how fluctuating cycle times affect overall efficiency. Analyze the shift in unit production costs as the truck cycle time varies.

💡 Hint: Factor in how cycle variances can create lags in productivity.

Question 2

If the loader efficiency increases and can handle 100 m³/hr while all trucks maintain a productivity of 12.53 m³/hr, calculate the minimum number of trucks required to optimize costs while considering economic analysis principles.

💡 Hint: Remember to reassess loader productivity against truck output.
