Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a construction site where the haul distance increases. Discuss how this will impact the variable time and overall cycle time of scrapers.

💡 Hint: Consider how travel affects time taken for each component.

Question 2

A scraper is consistently overloaded, resulting in slower loading times. Calculate the potential decrease in productivity if loading times increase by 50% due to resistance.

💡 Hint: Reflect on the impact of diminished returns on overall output.
