Question: Circular blanks are loaded into a deep drawing machine by an automatic loading and unloading mechanism. The loading and unloading task takes 2 0 sec

Circular blanks are loaded into a deep drawing machine by an automatic loading and unloading mechanism. The loading and unloading task takes 20 sec each cycle. The drawing operation itself takes 10 sec, including part ejection. The cost rates of the drawing machine and the automatic loading and unloading mechanism are $45/hr and $10/hr respectively. The drawing die cost $12,000 and is expected to produce a total number of drawn parts equal to the first-right five digits of your student number during its life. Batch quantity is 1300 parts. Time to set up the machine before production is 2 hr. Determine: (a) Time to complete the batch (b) Average production rate, (c) Cost per piece
