Question

The Port of Endover operates six berths and 12 cranes for loading and unloading freight containers from ships, organized into two areas known as the north terminal and the south terminalThe Port of Endover’s north terminal contains two of the ship berths and four of the cranes, which worked together almost continuously last week, handling floading or unloading a total of containers during 151 hours of operationSimilarly, the of the larger south terminal operated together over 160 hours last week, collectively handling containers Consider the simple partial productivity measure per craneWhat was the overall per crane productivity of the Port of Endover last week? What was the per hour of operation productivity of the north terminal last week? What was the “hour operation productivity of the south terminal last week? The four cranes of the north terminal require one crane operator each, plus two additional employees on the ground as spotters. The south terminal also requires one crane operator for each the cranes, plus three spotters on the ground as this group of cranes operates. Taking the crew their operating times into consideration, what is the labor productivity of the north terminal? What is the labor productivity of the south terminal

The Port of Endover operates six berths and 12 cranes for loading and unloading freight containers from ships, organized into two areas known as the north terminal and the south terminal. The Port of Endover's north terminal contains two of the ship berths and four of the cranes, which worked together almost continuously last week, handling (loading or unloading) a total of 14,599 freight containers during 151 hours of operation. Similarly, the eight cranes of the larger south terminal operated together over 160 hours last week, collectively handling 29,753 containers. a. Consider the simple partial productivity measure "per crane." What was the overall per crane productivity of the Port of Endover last week? b. What was the "per hour of operation productivity of the north terminal last week? What was the "per hour of operation" productivity of the south terminal last week? The four cranes of the north terminal require one crane operator each, plus two additional employees on the ground as "spotters." The south terminal also requires one crane operator for each of the cranes, plus three spotters on the ground as this group of cranes operates. Taking the crew sizes and their operating times into consideration, what is the labor productivity of the north terminal? What is the labor productivity of the south terminal?

Answer 1

1. Per Productivity of Port of Endover

Total Crane= 12

Total Fright containers Loded or unloaded= 44352 (14599+29753)

Per crane productivity = 3696 (44352/12)

2 .Per Hour operation productivity of North and South Terminal

Particulars	North	South
Total Hours Operated	151	160
Total Fright containers Loaded or unloaded	14599	29753
Per Hour productivity	96.58 (14599/151)	185.95 (29753/160)

3. Labour productivity

Particulars	North	South
Total Labour	6(4+2)	11 (8+3)
Hours operated in week	151	160
Total Man Hour	906 (151*6)	1760 (11*160)
Total Fright containers Loaded or unloaded	14599	29753
Labour Productivity Per man per hour	16.11 (14599/906)	16.91 (29753/160)
