Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

If your current operation uses 7 trucks but proposes to use 10 for a new project, analyze the potential productivity and cost outcomes. What would you recommend?

💡 Hint: Calculate using the productivity limits of the loader.

Question 2

Calculate the overall production cost for using 6 trucks over 24 hours, assuming the productivity remains consistent. Given that each truck costs 1650 rupees/hour, compute the cost-effectiveness.

💡 Hint: Remember to factor in continuous usage and total output.
