3) A commercial vehicle body manufacturer has secured a project to produce the production schedule shown below. This is a new product and the first unit took \( 1,000 \mathrm{hrs} \) to produce but the company estimates that it can achieve a PR of \( 80 \% \) a) Estimate the number of hours required to complete the \( 38^{\mathrm{m}} \) unit b) Assuming an employee works on average \( 150 \mathrm{hrs} \) per month. The budget has allowed a maximum of 30 direct labour employees in a month and 15,000 direct labour hours for the project. Will the budget be adequate? 4) A maintenance manager has produced the following schedule for fitting inverters to a company's process pump drives. If the PR is estimated from similar projects at \( 90 \% \). The budget allows 40 employees to be employed on the project and a total of 8,000 hours. Assume an average of 40 hours working hours per week. If the first unit took 30 , hrs to convert is the schedule feasible, and if not, can it be altered? Are there any additional costs involved?
