A machine cell uses 300 pounds of a certain material each day. Material is transported in vats that hold 19 pounds each. Cycle time for the vats is about two hours. The manager has assigned an inefficiency factor of .04 to the cell. The plant operates on an eight-hour day.

Solution
efficiency factor=0.96
material in each vat=19 pound
material taken by machine from each vet =19*0.96 = 18.24 pounds
machine requires 300 pound material
so,number of vats required =300 /18.24 =16.45 =17
hence 17 vats required
