A standing inspector picks up a 25lb casting from a conveyor 54 inches from the floor with a horizontal distance of 15 inches. He then puts the casting on a work area 20 inches lower than the conveyor and closer to the body for inspection (ie a minimum horizontal distance) for inspection. For good parts, he twists 70 degrees to the right and sets it on a conveyor 25 inches from the floor with a minimum horizontal distance. For bad parts, he twists 70 degrees to the left and sets it on a conveyor 25 inches from the floor with a minimum horizontal distance. How many castings per minute can he inspect for an 8 hour shift so as to be acceptable by NIOSH standards. Make sure to calculate the rate for both the origin (from conveyor to work area) and destination (from work area to second conveyor). Explicitly state your assumptions for H, V, D, FM, CM, and Angle for both the origin and destination.
