Hey everyone,
I'm the general manager of a retail store and I am attempting to plot out what I need for a number of labor hours to achieve a certain goal. We have daily goals where we need to produce X number of clothing pieces to be sold onto the floor. To make that possible, there's two positions that make that happen:
Position one: A sorter, where their goal is to get a rack of clothes ready to go to next step. Each person is responsible for 100 pieces every hour.
Position two: Once the rack above is complete, this person takes it and tags the rack, start to finish taking 20 minutes.
Finally that rack is done and ready to go.
I am struggling to determine how many hours I need in total to achieve a production goal of 1180 each day. I am struggling because there's two different variables (ie: positions) that have different numbers, and I'm not sure what math I need to do to give me a flat answer of how many hours it takes to get that goal each day. Ultimately I am looking for the math behind the numbers (a breakdown if possible so I can follow along) to reach 1180 a day. Example: It takes 20 combined hours each day to reach a goal of 1180 because 100 pieces can be finished each hour. Something along those lines.
If this question doesn't make sense, let me know. I'm horrible at explaining things. I appreciate the help.
