In this exercise, processing and total time are measured in hours. As a result, your calculated throughput will produce the number of units/cars produced through the plant's production system per hour.

Rules:

* The plant runs two 8 hour shifts, 5 days per week. Total time is 80 hours.

* Due to maintenance and downtime, the plant's "processing time" comes in lower than "total time" available.

* Calculate and round Productive Processing Time and Yield to 2 decimal places. e.g., .83 .91 .67

* Round Productive Capacity and Throughput calculations to whole numbers. e.g., 8.25 would be 8. 14.78 would be 15.

As the plant's accountant, you are responsible for calculating and commenting on the plant's throughput. The figures for your analysis are:

Processing Time	73
Total time	80
Good units	2,700
Total units produced	2,905

Based on your calculations:

Throughput is calculated to be ___________ cars per hour.

Productive Capacity is calculated to be .___________

Productive Processing Time is calculated to be ._____________

Yield is calculated to be ._________________

Between the two factors -- Productive Processing Time and Yield --- the lowest factor is (enter "Productive Processing Time" or "Yield") __________ and needs to be improved.
