Although a crew of eight people made 400 sandbags by hand per day, the demand for sandbags was higher than we could meet. We solved this problem by constructing a sandbagging device. Now, our crew can make 1,600 sandbags per day. This device saves two full workdays, translating to $1,920 per day in labor costs.
