Make Timings
Output= 4687500
Production time (24*5*52)=6240 hrs = 374400
min=22464000 seconds
Buy: 70 seconds cycle time, 10/2 =5 cartridge at one
cycle, 4 molding press with 0.95 up time.
Desired cycle time= production time/desired units of
output
Cd=22464000/4687500=4.79232
Actual cycle time = ca= 70/(5*4*0.95)= 3.684
