Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the labor time differential, if any, of a robot weld cell as compared to manual welding methods. Also, the variability of labor time differential between part numbers was to be examined.
The results of the study was intended to assist future investment decision makers in maximizing the return on capital expenditures. It was proposed that the labor time differential determined by this study be applied to the future labor and overhead rates in determining the return on investment for a robotic weld cell purchase. The variability of labor time differential between part numbers is intended to provide a sensitivity index for the future investment decision makers.
