(1093-675)*12 -3200 in bins = 1820 1820/675 = 2.7 hours (7am to 7pm = 12 hours + 2.7=14.7)*20 days = 294 hours 4 weeks * 40 hours per week = 160 hours 294-160 = 134*15 workers = 2010 2010*$15.75 = $31, 658

Processing Time per worker Regular Time for 20 days Overtime Overtime cost

13,120 wet berries per day/675 berries per hour = 19.4*20 days = 388 160 * 2 shifts = 320 388-320 = 68*17 workers = 1169 1169*$15.75 = $18,405

7am start with 2 new dryers Receiving stays same Processing time wet berries But separator becomes bottleneck Processing time separator

13120/1125 = 11.7 hours

Processing Time per worker Regular Time for 20 days Overtime No Savings Payback period

13.67*20 = 273 320 273-320 = 0

Recommendations 1. Buy one new dryer 2. No not convert any bins

16400/1200 = 13.7 hours

Infinite, a very bad investment
