A freight delivery service is looking at the impact of allowing overtime in their packing-sorting department. For a week they measured the average number of packages sorted during a regular 8-hr shift. The next week they measured the average number of packages sorted during a regular shift with 2 hr of overtime. During the first week (just regular time), the average number of packages sorted was 1,250. During the second week (regular time with overtime), the average number of packages sorted was 1,500.

Required:
a. What was the productivity during the first week?
b. What was the productivity during the second week?

Respuesta :

Answer:

a. 31 packages per hour

b. 30 packages per hour

Explanation:

If we consider 5 working days in the week and 8 hours a day in the first week

a. The total hours working in a week = 40

Productivity = 1250/40

Productivity = 31 packages per hour

b. During the second week the hours worked per day = 10

Productivity = 1500/50

Productivity = 30 packages per hour
