Example for the formula number-01:

Suppose, in Nishat garments ltd. total salary of sewing line for one day is 10000taka, no. of manpower’s for 20 machines is 30 and line efficiency is 50%, then calculate cost per minute in 8 working hours of each sewing line for that garments.

Solution:

Here,

Total salary of sewing line for one day = 10000 taka,
Total no. of manpower’s = 30,
Total working hours = 8,
Line efficiency= 50% = 0.5

Now,

Cost per minute of sewing line,

= 1.39 taka

So, cost per minute for each sewing line of nishat garments is 1.39 taka.

Example for the formula number-02:

Suppose, in Abonty fashion ltd. actual salary per day of all the operators and helpers is 15000, total garments produced per day is 400, where standard allowed minutes (SAM) for the garments is 20. Then calculate cost per minute of each sewing line for that garments.

Here,

Actual salary per day of all the operators and helpers = 15000,
Total no. of garments produced = 400,
Standard Allowed Minutes (SAM) for the garments = 20
