Manufacturing Design

Scope of Project
You must develop a manufacturing plan to machine the part to the final dimensions. The company is a small company of about 30 workers currently.

Product Design
You will design 1 tensile test bar using the following diagram

Develop a part print WITH tolerancing for this part

Material Cost
The raw material will be steel 1045 that I specify. It will come as 1 diameter bar stock at a length you specify ( the dimensions you can find it on the picture that I uploaded with the order)

Labor Cost
The labor cost for your plant is $15 per hour for all employees, except maintenance personnel, which cost $22 per hour.( it may more than one worker or it may a team of workers)

Volume
Your manufacturing facility must provide 200,000 of the tensile test specimens

The equipment will be a stand alone cell or line. No other parts will flow though this area at this time.

Operational Plan
The facility is scheduled to operate 250 days per year and run two 8 ½ hour shifts per day. The workers must be given 30 minutes for lunch and two 15-minute breaks. The product life cycle is expected to be 5 years or more.
