Question

A furniture company needs to produce 42,800 frames annually on an assembly line. Currently workers work 164 hours per month and produce 0 values per labour hour. How many workers does the company have to hire (round to the nearest whole number)?

Answer 1

Annual requirement = 42,800

Worker hours per month = 164 hours

Productivity = 10 per labor hour (in the question it is given as 0 , which is apparently a typo, I have considered 10 for the purpose of demonstrating the method and calculation)

Total number of workers required = Annual requirement / (12 * Worker hours per month x productivity)

= 42800 / (12* 164 * 10)

= 2.2

~ 3 (rounded-up) I

NOTE: Do not use this answer, if the actual productivity is something else than 10 per labor hour. The purpose of this is just to show the method and calculation
