1,000 703 min.
Total 1-shift production time available (net breaks and lunch) 450 min.
Number of shifts x 2
Time available for production on 1 machine 1 day = 900 min.
Time required per day to meet average demand* - 703 min.
Net time available for set up and changeovers per day = 197 min.
* Taken from above chart on basic machine data

times)
Time available for changeover work on 1 machine 1 day = 167 min.
Average changeover time ÷ 55 min.
Desirable number of changeovers per day = 3.04
