Question

1000 orders to be processed with an average time of 12minutes per person how many people are required?

Answer 1

In an 8 hour day, 1 person could process 40 orders.  8 hours times 60 minutes per hour is 480 minutes.  480 minutes in one day divided by 12 minutes per order is 40 orders per day per person.  

It would take 25 people to process 1,000 orders in one day.  1,000 orders divided by 40 orders a day for one person is 25 people to get it done in one day.
