A machine cell uses 192 pounds of a certain material each day. Material is transported in vats that hold 22 pounds each. Cycle time for the vats is about 1.50 hours. The manager has assigned an inefficiency factor of .07 to the cell. The plant operates on an eight-hour day.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Number of vats is 1.75 or 2

Explanation:

given data

Cycle time for the vats  T = 1.50 hours

Material is transported C = 22 pounds

inefficiency factor X =  0.07

to find out

How many vats will be used

solution

we get here planned used rate that is

planned used rate = [tex]\frac{192}{8}[/tex]

planned used rate = 24 pieces per hour

so here total no of container will be

N = [tex]\frac{DT(1+X)}{C}[/tex]   ..............1

here N is total no of container

put here value and we get

N = [tex]\frac{24*1.50*(1+0.07)}{22}[/tex]

N = 1.75

so Number of vats is 1.75 or 2
