Question

The Conner Company uses a two-step process for making wooden boards with holes in them. Step 1 is drilling and Step 2 is sanding. Drilling can be done using a hand drill that takes 2 minutes to load the bit and 2 minutes to drill each hole. If production of each unit involves drilling 14 holes, what is the maximum output of Step 1 using the manual drill if 1 setup is involved for each order of 1 board

Answer 1

The maximum output from Step 1 using the hand drill is 2 units per hour (option C).

To know how many boards of wood can be made in a given time using the manual drill that takes 2 minutes making each hole and 2 minutes loading, the following operations must be done.

Multiply the number of holes in each table by the amount of time it takes the drill to drill each hole.

• 14 × 2min = 28min

Add the time it takes for the drill to make the total holes to the two minutes it takes to load.

• 28min + 2min = 30min

According to the above, each table takes 30 minutes to complete. So the correct answer is 2 units per hour (option C).

This question is incomplete because the options are missing. Here are the options.

A) 10 units per hour

B) 5 units per hour
