The company has four work centers, all of which are different because they were purchased at different times. Each work center has a single operator; however, the company’s operators have different skill levels, resulting in different levels of daily output and product quality. The following tables show the average daily output and average number of defects per day for each of the company’s five operators who are capable of producing the aircraft part:   Table 1 Operator Average Daily Output per Machine A B C D 1 18 20 21
