I did 18 mill operations in less than 2 hours including set-up time.
This by changing the way I do my drawings and visualizing all the
operations with the thoughts of reducing set-ups, minimizing tool
changes, laying out the tools and parts and figuring the correct order of
events. With my old BP and methods I guess this would have taken close
to two days! And, every operation was within two thousandths.
Think/cut!

So, after all that outrageous productivity, I took a little nap at my
desk!

And just how much extra time did all that prep take? :-) :-)

Just the mental part, everything else in the 2 hour window. I posted a
while ago about changing the way I do drawings, optimized for the DRO.
