Optimum production rates

Optimum production rates have rarely been as much as 0.25 g./ day per discharge tube. 

The common raw materials of particleboard are wood, adhesive, and wax emulsion. High quality particleboard at the optimum production rate demands continuous monitoring of the wood material to determine when adjustments should be made in the process or the adhesive. Monitoring of the adhesive and wax emulsion quality is a critical, but often ignored, factor in particleboard manufacture.

OPTIMUM PRODUCTION RATE FOR MAXIMUM TOTAL PROFIT PER UNIT OF TIME... 

Equation (15) presents the basic relationship between costs and profits. A plot of profit per unit of time versus production rate goes through a maximum. Equation (15), therefore, can be used to find an analytical value of the optimum production rate. When the selling price remains constant, the optimum rate giving the maximum profit per unit of time is... 

Example 2 Determination of profits at optimum production rates. A plant produces refrigerators at the rate of P units per day. The variable costs per refrigerator have been found to be 47.73 + 0.1P12. The total daily fixed charges are 1750, and all other expenses are constant at 7325 per day. If the selling price per refrigerator is 173, determine ...

The desirable molecular orientation runs transverse to the hinge axis. This can best be achieved by a fast flow through the hinge section, using high melt temperatures. Since these requirements are also consistent with good molding practice, optimum production rates can be maintained.
