What factors determine the balance number of trucks?
Think about the operational times for the trucks and loaders.
What is the formula for unit production cost?
Consider how we assess our spending versus our output.
What is the balance number of trucks when the truck cycle time is 39.5 minutes and loader cycle time is 5.5 minutes?
Use the formula: Truck Cycle Time / Loader Cycle Time.
True or False: Increasing the number of trucks beyond the balance number always increases productivity.
Consider the role of the loader.
A construction site has a loader working for 8 hours and estimates a truck cycle time of 45 minutes and a loader cycle time of 6 minutes. How many trucks should they ideally use?
Remember, round for efficiency!
Discuss the cost implications of having 10 trucks when the balance number is 8. How might this affect overall productivity?
