Question

Calculate flow/minute: volume = 73,012, shift is 6 hours with a 7 min stand up, one 15 min break, and a 15 min stow down.

A) 175
B) 195
C) 215
D) 235

Answer 1

The correct flow per minute is approximately 226 units/minute when subtracting break times from the total shift time and dividing the volume by the effective work minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the flow per minute, we first need to determine the total amount of time available for work during the shift when the volume of 73,012 units was handled. Given a 6-hour shift, we must subtract the time for a 7-min stand up, a 15-min break, and a 15-min stow down to find the effective working minutes.

1. Calculate total shift time in minutes: 6 hours x 60 minutes/hour = 360 minutes.
2. Subtract the break times: 360 minutes - 7 minutes - 15 minutes - 15 minutes = 323 minutes.
3. Now we divide the total volume by the effective work minutes to determine the flow per minute: 73,012 units / 323 minutes ≈ 226 units/minute.

From the options provided, none correspond directly to our calculation. You may want to double-check your figures or options, as based on the given data, the correct flow per minute would be approximately 226 units/minute, which is not listed in the multiple-choice options.
