Preamble:

Nico Case is an industrial engineer working in Vancouver, BC. Ms. Case is responsible for the design and development of a new warehousing operation for a national manufacturer of yoga clothing. Nico has several design alternatives available, each with differing types of equipment, production strategy, cost, and potential throughput. Accordingly, Ms. Case has decided to build a simulation model to guide her analysis. The following questions relate to this study.  

Q 1a18. Ms. Case is interested in setting the warm up period for her model. She has run a pilot run of her simulation and output hourly throughput for her system. She receives the following data:
