Casper Geriatric Center, a senior medical facility located in a large hospital in NewZealand, started a procedure where their guests receive their meals in their rooms whilethe food is still as hot as possible. The facility will continue to prepare the food in thecommissary, but will now deliver it in bulk (not individual servings) to one of three newmeal serving stations in the building. From there, the food will be reheated, meals will beplaced on individual trays, loaded onto a cart, and distributed to the various floors andsections of the facility.The three new serving stations are as efficiently located as possible to reach the varioushallways in the facility. The purpose of the new procedure is to increase the temperatureof the hot meals that the guest receives. Therefore, the amount of time needed to deliver atray from a serving station will determine the proper distribution of food from servingstation to section. The table below summarizes the time associated with each possibledistribution channel.DISTRIBUTION TIME (minutes)TO: DESTINATIONSFROM:Section A Section B Section C Section D Section E Section FSOURCESStation 10J121186Station 6G612778Station 2L86679Station 10J can supply 200 meals.
