UNLOADING 



By timing mechanical banding operations at the different mills through 1-hour 

 intervals, we derived an average time of 4 minutes 12 seconds per unit. Thus 12 units 

 per hour, or 5 minutes per unit, which is a realistic rate, will be used throughout 

 this study. Twelve units per hour, at 1,920 board feet per unit, is a productivity 

 rate of 11,520 board feet per man-hour for the two-man crew.
