3.6 Capacity of One Machine to Make the Bundles of Spoons
in Six Hours
Machine is capable of working continuously in three shifts. So the calculation for
the capacity of machine according to the shift was carried out which is shown in
Tables 6 and 7.
Calculation for the capacity of labour, cost of labour, capacity of machine was
carried out. Now, the comparison between the labourers and the machine is being
carried out which is shown in Table 8.
From the above tables, it can be noted that 100 workers in one month can make
8,640,000 bundles of spoon. Whereas, 5 such machines can make 8,640,000 in one
month. Only 5 such machines can do the work of 100 workers. In one hour, one person
can make 480 bundles whereas, one machine can make 2400 bundles of spoon. In
one day, 100 workers can make 288,000 bundles whereas, only 1 machine can make
57,600 bundles. In one month, 100 workers are required to make 8,640,000 bundles
whereas, only 5 machines are required to make 8,640,000 bundles.
4 Conclusion
It is really very difficult for the ice cream companies to hire the labour and to manually
count the number of ice cream spoons and tie a rubber band around it to make
the bundle of these spoons as per requirement. So, this innovative spoon bundling
