At Maggard Micro Manufacturing, Inc., workers press semiconductors into predrilled slots on printed circuit boards. The elemental motions for normal time used by the company are as follows:

Reach 6 inches for semiconductors 40 TMU
Grasp the semiconductor 10 TMU
Move semiconductor to printed circuit board 30 TMU
Position semiconductor 35 TMU
Press semiconductor into slots 65 TMU
Move board aside 20 TMU

(Each time measurement unit is equal to .0006 min.) Determine the normal time for this operation in minutes and in seconds.
