A crew of mechanics at the Department of Transportation garage make minor repairs to snowplows during the winter.  The snowplows break down at an average rate of 4 vehicles per day and breakdowns are distributed according to the Poisson distribution. The mechanic can service an average of 10 vehicles per day with a repair time distribution that approximates a negative exponential distribution.  Assume an 8 hour day. What is the system utilization?  Group of answer choices 0.60 0.17 0.40 0.67

Inventory Management

The supply chain is crucial to a firm's operations as it manages the inflow and outflow of products that are manufactured from the initial stage to the end product. It also considers the raw materials needed at different stages of production and when the work is in progress. Inventory management functions consist of ordering, storing, and procuring the organization's inventory like raw materials, factors, and finished products. It's also used for controlling the number of products for trade and helps manage the organization's inventory and stock. Inventory Management has been defined as having the right inventory, of the right volume, at the right cost.
