2) Setup time for Manual drill is less but as the order size increases corresponding time taken for

processing increases rapidly in comparison to CNC Drill, which makes it suitable for small order size. So after one point of order size, switching to CNC drill will be beneficial Optimized Order size for Drill Consideration 15+.08* 500 * x = 240 + .004 * 500 * x X = 6.184 For X < 6 go for manual drill, x>= 6 go for CNC Drill

Similarly for profiling the panel in to boards, Donner should choose between the CNC Router and Punch press based on the order size, where punch press is economical for lower order size but for larger size we need to switch to CNC Router. Optimized Order size for Profiling 50 + 1 * X = 150 + .5 *X X = 200 So for x > 200 we should go for CNC Router which will be consuming less time.

Assuming 22 workers working for 8 hours a day, So the capacity will vary based on the batch size and methodology used. Based on the above Calculation we choose the methodology for drilling and profiling. As a result following capacity can be achieved with respect to batch size.
