Faculty members work a 37.5- hour week and rotate jobs each week. What is the maximum number of students that Rockness Recycling can refurbish per week?

Explanation / Answer

The process is divided into 5 steps, however, the maximum number of students that Rockness Recycling can refurbish will depend on the slowest step of the process which would govern the whole process

In our case the Slowest step is Step 2 "Strip of Bad habits" and the number of students can be calculated as below

Output = Available Time / Cycle time

Output = (37.5 hour work week * 60 minute per hour) / (2.5 minute cycle time)

Output = (37.5 * 60) / 2.5 = 900 students

So the maximum students it can Refurbish are 900 students
