Question

A machine operates with the following production cycle:

29 minutes of setup, 90 minutes of production. While in production, the machine produces 4 parts per minute.

Required:
What is the capacity of the machine in parts per minute?

Answer 1

The capacity of the machine in parts per minute is 3 parts per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

The Total time = 29 + 90

The Total time = 119 minutes

Total production = 4*90

Total production = 360 units

The capacity = 360/119

The capacity = 3.02521

The capacity = 3 parts per minute

Thus, the capacity of the machine in parts per minute is 3 parts per minute
