Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a study on measuring the impact of haul route conditions on the efficiency of a fleet of scrapers. Include variables, methodology, and the anticipated outcome.

💡 Hint: Consider what measurements would provide a direct link to operational efficiency.

Question 2

Calculate the potential savings by optimizing loading time for a fleet of scrapers, assuming each scraper's cycle is improved by 5 minutes per operation over 15 operations per day.

💡 Hint: Multiply the time saved by the number of scrapers and consider the cost implications.
