"Currently, three operators work at this job every day; each operator
works an 8-hour shift, and may also work overtime. Operators handle
approximately three 50-lb bags of acid per batch. The cycle time is
approximately 20 minutes per batch, and the production standard for this
operation is 6 to 7 batches per shift."
