The case deals about the store that manufactures old Oregon tables. There are four employees (Person T, Person G, Person L, and Person C) who deal with the operations such as preparation, assembly, finishing, and packaging. Each one would deal with a specific operation. However, all the four are able to do all the four operations. Person R is hired to perform major duties and help when the employees are absent. The time taken by each employee to perform every task is as follows:

Preparation Assembly Finishing Packaging
Person T 100 60 90 25
Person G 80 80 60 10
Person L 110 90 80 10
Person C 120 70 100 25
Person R 110 80 100 10

You may need to use the appropriate technology to answer this question. An event hall that hosts public lectures, book readings, poetry slams, and other similar events uses a one-week periodic review inventory system for the throat lozenges that it stocks for its patrons. A two-day lead time is needed for any order, and the event hall is willing to tolerate an average of one stock-out per year. (a) Using the event hall's service guideline, what is the probability of a stock-out associated with each replenishment decision? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) (b) What is the replenishment level if demand during the review period plus lead-time period is normally distributed with a mean of 50 units and a standard deviation of 12 units? (Round your answer to the nearest integer.) (c) What is the replenishment level if demand during the review period plus lead-time period is uniformly distributed between 45 and 95 units? (Round your answer to the nearest integer.)
