Problem: You have 30 associates who all work an 8 hour day, 5 days a week. Two need to be indirect- they are not on the floor producing. Your direct rate is 150 units per hour but you have two 15 minute breaks during the day.
Q1. How many units can your department produce in a 40 hour week?
Q2. If you need to produce an extra 10,000 units in a given week how many extra people will it require?
