Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A project manager finds that increasing the number of trucks from 7 to 9 has limited impact due to high idle times. Calculate the overall productivity effect if the expected output without congestion is 150 m³ per hour.

💡 Hint: Think about the effects of adding too many resources without efficiency.

Question 2

You have two scenarios: Scenario A with 6 trucks at full load versus Scenario B with 8 trucks but short loads. Calculate which scenario is more productive and the cost implications for maintenance and time delays.

💡 Hint: Breakdown the production numbers to see which has a net gain.
