Twisted Oak, located in Central Texas, specializes in home decor. Distribution is operated out of a 100,000 square foot warehouse, which supplies four retail outlets and an on-line store. The on-line store ships orders all over the world. The on-line store's order fulfillment process consists of several steps: order receipt, preparation, picking, packing, and processing. The warehouse manager has identified the packing step as the order fulfillment process' bottleneck. That is, capacity for the entire order fulfillment process can never be greater than the packing operation's capacity.
The on-line store currently has enough demand to keep the packing process running non-stop during operating hours. The packing operation is organized into 32 packing stations. Each station is staffed with a single employee whose sole job is to package orders for shipment. Each packer, on average, is able to pack 11 orders per hour.
After orders are packed, the packages are moved to the processing station for shipment to the designated destination. At this station, employees check the packaged orders for packing quality, verify mailing labels, and sort orders by shipping carrier. On average, each employee at this station is able to process 110 packages per hour.
Required:
a. Given the current order fulfillment process, how many employees should the warehouse manager assign to the processing station to ensure that station can meet demand from the packing station?

(05.04 mc) a 2012 report from the u. s. surgeon general stated: "another common practice is strategically locating tobacco-related marketing materials where young children will be exposed to them. tobacco industry executives acknowledge that products and advertising should be placed at eye level (pollay 2007), but in california, 48% of stores had at least one cigarette marketing item at or below 3 feet from the floor (feighery et al. 2001)." it was also noted that 25% of cigarette displays were next to candy. in addition, a national study found that about one-third of the stores had tobacco ads at low heights. after california banned counter displays, some stores place cigarettes in transparent displays so product brands could still be seen. why did some stores use transparent units to display the cigarettes?
