~1,875operator hours freed per year, when one person handles two presses
One person stands at each of three presses on long jobs, which comes to about 7,500 operator hours per year. We assume one person handling two presses frees 25 percent of those hours. The freed hours save cash only if overtime falls or the plant avoids a hire.
