A production center is available for 8 hours a day in a factory. It is comprised of several rotary parts, and the worker operating it is required to lubricate these rotary parts regularly each day. It takes 2 hours to remove these parts from the production center, lubricate them, and re-assemble them. The production center is not available for production during these times. What is the availability of the production center?

Answer:

Total time: 8 Hours

Lubrication Requirement: Each day

Time Required for removing, Lubrication. reassembling= 2 Hours

So Availability of Production Center= 8 hours - 2 hours

Availability of Production Center = 6 Hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Production center will not be available for production in the time when rotary parts will be engaged in lubrication process. The rotary parts lubrication will take 2 hours each day.

So center will be available for production for 6 hours only.
