Determine the manufacturing area required for the work cell, which includes the following components:

1. Two 48-inch-square pallets for raw casting and finished castings.
2. An operator’s work area used to insert bushings into the machined casting, measuring 30 inches by 48 inches.
3. A tool rack that covers 12 square feet.
4. Wide walkways and machine clearances that cover 45 square feet.
5. A production machine that measures 58 inches by 97 inches.

Determine the manufacturing area of the work cell. To do this, we will calculate the area of each component in the work cell and then sum them up.

1. Two 48-inch-square pallets for raw and finished castings:
Area of one pallet = 48 inches * 48 inches = 2,304 square inches
Area of two pallets = 2,304 square inches * 2 = 4,608 square inches

2. Operator's work area (30 inches by 48 inches):
Area = 30 inches * 48 inches = 1,440 square inches

3. Tool rack (12 square feet):
First, we'll convert square feet to square inches.
Area = 12 square feet * 144 (since 1 square foot = 144 square inches) = 1,728 square inches

4. Walkways and machine clearances (45 square feet):
Area = 45 square feet * 144 = 6,480 square inches

5. Production machine (58 inches by 97 inches):
Area = 58 inches * 97 inches = 5,626 square inches

Now, we will sum up the areas of all the components:
Total manufacturing area = 4,608 + 1,440 + 1,728 + 6,480 + 5,626 = 19,882 square inches

So, the manufacturing area of the work cell is 19,882 square inches.
