Question

create an exercise involving obtaining parts per hour of work.

Example: (This is an example, do not answer)

A factory that produces computer mice works in a quiet and regular manner since it does not sell its product to large companies, nor is its demand very variable.
It produces 280 mice per month, of which 270 are conforming products. In October 2019, 23 days were worked. Its standard operating time is 7 hours a day, with a 30-minute lunch break. In addition, in the mornings the machines must be allowed to warm up for 20 minutes. The machines are operated in this manner from Monday to Friday. When they reach the production of 250 mice, they take a "break" to review the production so far. This waiting time (kanban) takes them 4 hours.

Determine the total number of parts produced during the month of October 2019.

Now, create another example of parts per hour of work:
