Verification
| Test | - At one press on a long job, a supervisor watches for one hour with a stopwatch.
- On 30 cycles, time how long the hands are busy cutting and packing, and how long the person waits.
- Note the cycle time, and whether the press beside it runs a long job too.
|
| Cost | About $45: one hour of a supervisor, at $45 per hour. Nothing is bought, and the press keeps running. |
| Duration | One hour at one press |
| Confirmed if | The hands are busy for less than about a third of each cycle. One person then has time for the parts of a second press. |
| Ruled out if | - The hands are busy for more than half of each cycle.
- One person cannot keep up with two presses, and only a way that removes the cutting applies.
- Between a third and half, it depends on the press beside it, so that press is timed too.
