Solved Problem Productivity

A seafood company previously operated two 10-hour shifts per day producing 500 wooden boxes. To meet higher demand, the company switched to three 8-hour shifts. This allowed daily production to increase to 650 boxes. The original productivity was 25 boxes per hour over 20 working hours. The new productivity is 27.083 boxes per hour over 24 working hours. This is an 8.3% increase in productivity.
