30 associates who work 8 hours days 5 days a week.

Question

2 need to be indirect roles. Your direct rate is 150 units per hour, but you have two 15 mins breaks. How many units can your department produce in a 40 hour week?

Answer 1

First, reduce the number of associates from 30 to 28 to allow for the 2 indirect (maybe supervisor, etc.) roles.

 

Then reduce the 8 hours per day by two 15-min breaks -- that means (40-2.5) = 37.5 hours/week.

 

So, the production rate is:

   (28 associates)*(37.5 hours/associate)*(150 units)/hour)

   (28)(37.5)(150) units                [note: associates and hours cancel out, leaving only units]

      157,500 units
