You have an upstream Picking department that feeds two downstream packing departments: Pack A and Pack B.
75% of your Pick volume goes to Pack A which has a packing rate of 150 units per labor hour (UPH) per person.
25% of the Pick volume goes to Pack B, which is for large items, and has a pack rate of 25 UPH per person.
Your pickers pick both large and small items throughout the day at an overall average rate of 100 UPH per person. You have 25 people total today to allot into all 3 departments (Pick, Pack A & Pack B). You absolutely must pack 7500 units in Pack A to meet a customer promise metric.
How many people (of the 25 total) go into each department and how much volume can Pick and Pack be complete in your 10 hour shift?
