3. Plant size and production schedule

a. Rated annual and daily plant capacity, at a given number of shifts per day and number

of operating days per year.

Number of working days in a year are 310 days and working in one shift. Time taken

to manufacture jewellery depends upon the kind of jewellery item to be produced, e.g.

a gold ring takes 3-4 days of processing while a necklace could take upto a month of

processing.
