Problem 1:
What manufacturing process would you recommend to produce a large quantity of the following parts while minimizing cost?
(a) Automotive door panel where structural performance is not critical but surface finish must be excellent
(b) Aircraft door panel where structural performance is critical but surface finish is not important
(c) A few prototype samples of both (a) and (b).
