Because of the urgent need, BBBC is authorized to use around-the-clock production, 6 days per week. When each of the two shifts works 72 hours per week, production increases to 4,000 uniforms per week but at a cost of $144 each.a.

- Why is it important to make a process exception?arrow_forwardThe sales department receives all orders from the customers. While receiving the order, the sales team authorizes the payment and check line items. If authorization is failed, a cancelation message is sent to the customer.
