On Tuesday an office supply store is sending a truck to pick up 150 desks. You need to tell the truck driver when to come to the
plant and which loading dock to use. When scheduling the pick-up, the following things need to be considered: It takes 30 seconds to load each desk at the dock. It takes an additional 10 minutes after all the desks are loaded to close the truck and complete the paperwork at the dock. The minimum amount of time that a dock can be scheduled for loading a truck is 20 minutes. Every minute a dock goes unused costs the company money. Where and when would you tell the truck driver to have the truck parked on Tuesday?
It would take 85 minutes to load the desks, close the truck, and fill out the paper work.
150 desks×30 seconds=4500 seconds
4500 seconds/ 60 seconds in a minute=75 minutes
75 minutes+10 minutes= 85 minutes
