In 1 hr the sawmill produces 500pcs=10 bundles of 50pcs in each bundle.

Forklift handles 10 bundles/hr=production rate of the sawmill.

1 day=3 shifts of 4hr=12hr-day.

In 12hr at 10 bundles/hr=120 bundles/day (production rate).

So, since the production rate matches the performance of the forklift operator, it will take 12 hours to load a day's production.
