To determine the adjusted Flow Per Hour (FPH) needed to meet the shift goal, it's essential to first understand the total volume required to achieve that goal within the specified time. In this scenario, with an actual FPH of 7,435 after 3 hours, we calculate the total flow completed so far:

Total Flow = Actual FPH × Hours = 7,435 × 3 = 22,305.

To find out the required total flow to meet the shift goal, we must estimate the overall duration of the shift—typically 8 hours for a standard shift in many operational contexts. Therefore, to meet the shift goal, we can assume a target FPH of 7,500 (for illustrative purposes), leading to the required flow:

Required Total Flow = Shift Goal FPH × Total Shift Hours = 7,500 × 8 = 60,000.

Now, to find the adjusted FPH needed for the remaining hours, we consider how much flow remains. After 3 hours, 5 hours are left in the shift:

Remaining Flow Needed = Required Total Flow - Current Total Flow = 60,000 - 22,305 = 37,695.

To maintain that goal in the remaining
