| | (b) | A Co. is engaged in manufacturing spark plugs for automobiles. The operations are performed on a CNC 3–axis drilling cum tapping centre. The operation cycle time is as follows: Drilling time
Tapping time
Tool change time | :
:
: | 45 secs;

25 secs. |
For feeding the spark plugs the Co. designed a fixture holding 10 sparks plugs at a time and set up time for the 10 plugs in the fixture is 80 secs. The Co. decided to augment Capacity due to an additional order to the extent of 1.10 lakhs sparks plugs per year. Assuming that manpower is no constraint, how many additional drilling tapping centers the Co. should procure under the augmentation plan?
Average rejection is 2% of the produced good spark plugs. Assume 300 working days per year of 8 hrs. per day shift. 20% time, the drilling tapping centers are not available due to preventive maintenance and the utilization is 70% of the available time due to power and service line shutdown. | 10 | (0) |
