a) To calculate the log volume delivered, we need to subtract the non-productive days from the total productive days in a year and then multiply by the annual log volume required by the mill.
Log volume delivered = (Total productive days in a year - Total non-productive days in a year) * Annual log volume required by the mill
Log volume delivered = (240 - 125) * 10,000 m3
Log volume delivered = 115 * 10,000 m3
Log volume delivered = 1,150,000 m3
Therefore, the log volume delivered to the mill is 1,150,000 m3.
b) If the number of working days during which logs cannot be delivered due to bad weather/machine breakdown is 60 days, we need to subtract these additional non-productive days from the total productive days and then multiply by the maximum daily delivered volume.
Log storage volume required = (Total productive days in a year - Total non-productive days in a year - Days logs cannot be delivered) * Maximum daily delivered volume
Log storage volume required = (240 - 125 - 60) * 1,150,000 m3
Log storage volume required = 55 * 1,150,000 m3
Log storage volume required = 63,250,000 m3
Therefore, the log storage volume required is 63,250,000 m3.
I)Annual log volume required by the mill=10,000m3
ii) Total days in a year=365days
iii) Annual vocational shutdown=14days
iv) Weekends(non-productive days)=100days
v) Religious and holydays observation=11days
Total non-productive days in a year=125days
Total productive days in a year=365-125=240days
Question
a) Assuming that logs will be delivered to the mill efficiently throughout the working days.
Calculate the log volume delivered.
b) If the no. of working days during which logs cannot be delivered due to bad
weather/machine breakdown=60days. Determine the log storage volume required if the
maximum daily delivered is equal to the volume in quiz a) above.
