Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You are tasked with optimizing a scraper's loading time. The manufacturer provides load time for various materials. If the optimal loading time is known, how would you practically apply this to a new project?

💡 Hint: Think about testing different materials and comparing efficiencies.

Question 2

During a project, the hauling speed is significantly reduced due to poor road conditions. How would you adjust the scraper's cycle time calculations to accommodate this change?

💡 Hint: Focus on how changes in one time component affect the entire cycle calculation.
