A high-production operation was studied during an 80-hr period. During that time, a total of seven equipment breakdowns occurred for a total lost production time of 3.8 hr, and the operation produced 38 defective products. No setup was performed during the period. The operation cycle consists of a processing time of 2.14 min, a part handling time of 0.65 min, and a tool change is required every 25 parts, which takes 1.50 min. Determine the scrap rate q in % during the period."
