time is 6 days (this includes processing time, transport time, and waiting
time).

Management has decided
to have 2 day(s) of safety stock

A copy machine is
available 24 hours a day. On a typical day, the machine produces 119 jobs. Each
job takes about 3 minutes on the machine, 1 minutes of which is processing time
and 2 minute is setup time (logging in defining the job). About 22 Percent of
the jobs need to be reworked, in which case the setup time and the processing
time have to be repeated. The remainder of the time, the equipment is idle.
