Time taken for Manual drilling on 1 Drill Press = Time taken for Manual drilling on All Drill Press = 15 + 0.08*500*8 =335 min. Time taken for CNC drilling for 56 Circuit Boards = 240 + 0.004*500*56=352 min 335 Mins < 352 Mins‚ so let’s try adding one more Unit of Board and calculate time taken Time for Manual drilling = Existing time for 56 Boards + Time taken for 1 new Board = 335 + 0.08*500*1= 375 min for 57 Boards Time taken with CNC drilling for 57 Circuit Boards = 240+ 57*500*0
