Question 1.
What is the balance number of trucks if the truck cycle time is 39.5 and the loader cycle time is 5.5?
Show hintHide hint
Use the formula: Balance Number = Truck Cycle Time / Loader Cycle Time.
Question 2.
If you have 6 trucks with a productivity of 12.53-meter cubes per hour, what is the total productivity?
Show hintHide hint
Multiply the number of trucks by individual truck productivity.
3Question 3.

- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider how loader productivity caps overall output.
Question 5.
If your current operation uses 7 trucks but proposes to use 10 for a new project, analyze the potential productivity and cost outcomes. What would you recommend?
Show hintHide hint
Calculate using the productivity limits of the loader.
Question 6.
Calculate the overall production cost for using 6 trucks over 24 hours, assuming the productivity remains consistent. Given that each truck costs 1650 rupees/hour, compute the cost-effectiveness.
