Manufacturing time per order: 5 hours
Annual machine capacity in hours: 18,000
- 1. Calculate the average waiting time per order.
Required
- 2. After learning about the average waiting time, IDW’s managers are confused. They do not understand why, if annual machine capacity is greater than the average number of orders for the product, there would be any waiting time at all. Write a memo to clarify the situation.
