Given the truck cycle time of 45 seconds and a loader cycle time of 6 seconds, calculate the new balance number of trucks and discuss its economic implications.
💡 Hint: Apply the truck cycle over the loader cycle to get your base number.
If the unit production cost increases when exceeding the balance number, how would you optimize truck and loader usage in a new project?
💡 Hint: Consider both the operational rates of cost and productivity in your evaluations.
