Question

A foundry produces circular utility access hatches​ (manhole covers). If 16 covers are produced in an 8minushour ​shift, the productivity of the line​ is: A. 128​ covers/hr. B. 5​ covers/hr. C. 0.5​ covers/hr. D. 20​ covers/hr. E. 2​ covers/hr.

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer is E. 2 covers/hr

Explanation:

The foundry produces 16 covers in an 8hr shift. All we need to do is divide 16 [covers] and 8 [hrs] to get the productivity:

• $Productivity = \frac{parts.produced}{time} \\Productivity = \frac{16[covers]}{8[hr]}$

Productivity = 2 covers/hr
