A product has to be designed and manufactured and the sequence
of operations to be carried out to manufacture the product is
detailed below: i. Cut the sheet metal to required shapes and sizes
using a shearing process. ii. The components are then subjected to
pressing operations to alter the shape of the flat sheet as
predesign. iii. Welding is done to join the components iv. Painting
v. Components are packed and kept ready for dispatch. The time take
for each operation is 20, 30, 15, 12 and 6 minutes respectively. a.
If the shop works on an 8 hour shift with an effective time of 450
minutes. What is the production capacity of the shop ? b. Where is
the bottleneck in the system ? c. If management permits to add one
more machine, which machine would you add ? d. If the customer
demand is increased to 25 units/day, identify the additional
capacity required. e. Compare the utilization of the machines as
per the revised capacity calculation.A product has to be designed
