Question

a company operates 8 hours per shift, two shifts per day, five days a week with 16 hours maintenance per week and other downtime of 2 hours per __________ is the effective capacity in hours per week?

Answer 1

The effective capacity in hours per week is 54 hours/week.

Step-by-step explanation:

The effective capacity in hours per week can be calculated by subtracting the maintenance time and other downtime from the total available operating hours. In this case, the company operates 2 shifts per day, 5 days a week, with each shift being 8 hours long. Therefore, the total available operating hours per week is 2 shifts/day * 8 hours/shift * 5 days/week = 80 hours/week.

Subtracting the 16 hours of maintenance per week and 2 hours of other downtime per day, we get 80 hours/week - 16 hours/week - 2 hours/day * 5 days/week = 80 hours/week - 16 hours/week - 10 hours/week = 54 hours/week.

Therefore, the effective capacity in hours per week is 54 hours/week.
