Total time: 8 Hours

Lubrication Requirement: Each day

Time Required for removing, Lubrication. reassembling = 2 Hours

So Availability of Production Center = 8 hours - 2 hours

Availability of Production Center = 6 Hours.

Production center will not be available for production in the time when rotary parts will be engaged in lubrication process. The rotary parts lubrication will take 2 hours each day.

So center will be available for production for 6 hours only.
