Details

The data come from Nambe Mills (https://www.nambe.com/), manufacturers of tableware made from sand casting a special alloy of several metals. The polishing times for the products are thought to be related to the size of the item, as indicated by the diameter. After casting, the pieces go through a series of shaping, grinding, buffing, and polishing steps. In 1989 the company began a program to rationalize its production schedule of some 100 items in its tableware line. The total grinding and polishing times listed here were a major output of this program.
