Consider Timbuk2's production cell for custom messenger bags.
The cell has the capacity to produce exactly 285 bags per day, and
there is no uncertainty in this. It is currently the start of the
busy holiday season, and while there are currently no unfilled
orders for custom messenger bags, during each of the next 54 days,
Timbuk2 is expecting 416 custom messenger bags to be ordered per
day. After this busy surge, the demand is expected to return to a
steady level of 163 custom messenger bags per day.
a) How many unfilled orders will Timbuk2 have on hand at
the end of day 54?
b) How long will the last customer who orders on day 54
have to wait for their bag to be produced?
c) When will Timbuk2 be completely caught up with the
anticipated surge in demand?
d) On average, how long does a bag ordered during the 54
day surge wait to be produced?
