3. Theassumptionunderlyingnumberofsetupsasthedriveristhateachpartusesanequalamountofsetuptime.SincePart#72AusesdoublethesetuptimeofPart#172C,itmakessensetoassignsetupcostsbasedonsetuptimeinsteadofnumberofsetups.Thisillustratestheimportanceofidentifyingdriversthatreflectthetrueunderlyingconsumptionpattern.Usingsetuphours[(4010)+(2010)],wegetthefollowingrateperhour:
