After conducting the analysis of work i and having determined the standard times, we have The operating hours are:
the following time data accepted by the operators. Load the machine: 60 sec.
Automatic molding: 300 seconds.

The costs to be assumed are: There is one operator available and three machines.
Costo hora- hombre = S/. 10.00; Costo hora-maquina = S/. 15.00; Costo unitario de material= S/ 1.00 The costs to be assumed are as follows:
