You work as a process engineer in a manufacturing facility producing canopies for utility vehicles (utes) (such as shown in Fig 2). You receive stock materials such as (flat) metal sheets, windows (pre-moulded to shape), hinges, handles, moulded spoilers and paints. The sheet metal working, assembly and panting/finishing operations are performed on site. Present a manufacturing process chain (in a similar format as presented in Fig 1 with as much detail as applicable), maintaining the most logical and practical sequence of processes, for making a finished product - a canopy presented in Fig 2. from the described materials in your facility.

(USCS units) A CNC drill press performs a series of through-hole drilling operations on a 1.75-inthick aluminum plate that is a component in a heat exchanger. Each hole diameter = 3/4 in. There are 100 holes in all, arranged in a 10 by 10 matrix pattern, and the distance between adjacent hole centers (along the square) = 1.5 in. Cutting speed = 300 ft/min, penetration feed (z-direction) =0.015 in/rev, and traverse rate between holes (r-y plane) = 15.0 in/min. Assume that r-y moves are made at a distance of 0.50 in above the work surface, and that this distance must be included in the penetration feed rate for each hole. Also, the rate at which the drill is retracted from each hole is twice the penetration feed rate. The drill has a point angle = 100°. Determine the time required from the beginning of the first hole to the completion of the last hole, assuming the most efficient drilling sequence is used to accomplish the job.
