Math Question

Question

You have 30 associates (2 are indirect/not on the floor). Each associate works 8 hours/day, 5 days/week, can produce 150 units/week, and has two 15 minute breaks/day. Question 1: How many total units do you produce in a 40 hour work week? Question 2: If you were to increase your productivity 10,000 units/week, how many extra associates do you need?

Answer 1

With 30 associates, since each produces 150 units/week, you will produce 30(150) = 4500 units in a week.

 

To produce an extra 10000 units per week, you'll need 10000/150 = 66.67 ≈ 67 extra associates.
