Your project is in need of 21,000BCY of fill material. There are two sites (A and B) available for
obtaining fill material for your project. The Excavator/Loader is available to load the trucks at the
fill sites. The truck for each site will haul the material to your site as listed below. It will take about
2 minutes for either truck to unload/dump the soil. (30pts)
a) Determine the total cycle time in minutes for each type of haul, where cycle time in each
case includes the load, haul, dump, and return times. (1mph=88ftmin).
b) How many trucks for each sites would optimize the cycle? What is the production rate for
each (BCYhr) and what controls the production rate for each case? What is the haul-time for
21,000BCY for each case? What is the total truck round trips to each site?
c) Determine the cost of obtaining fill from each site and recommend a site based on total cost.
