Batch Size using Tool Life and Machining Time Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Batch Size = Number of Tools Used*Tool Life/Machining Time
Nb = Nt*T/tm
This formula uses 4 Variables
Variables Used
Batch Size - Batch Size is the count of similar kinds of products to be manufactured.
Number of Tools Used - The Number of Tools Used is the total number of tools used for manufacturing a batch of products.
Tool Life - (Measured in Second) - Tool Life is the period of time for which the cutting edge, affected by the cutting procedure, retains its cutting capacity between sharpening operations.
Machining Time - (Measured in Second) - Machining Time is the time when a machine is actually processing something. Generally, machining time is the term used when there is a removal of unwanted material.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Number of Tools Used: 3 --> No Conversion Required
Tool Life: 75 Minute --> 4500 Second (Check conversion here)
Machining Time: 0.5 Minute --> 30 Second (Check conversion here)
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
Nb = Nt*T/tm --> 3*4500/30
Evaluating ... ...
Nb = 450
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
450 --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
450 <-- Batch Size
(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

What is Batch Size? What is an Ideal Batch Size?

Batch size is the number of units manufactured in a production run at a time. A batch in production usually comprises identical or at least similar products.
An Ideal Batch Size is the one that can cover up the total production cost of the batch including setup and overhead costs and can yield more profit to the firm.
