- Hello. Would you please take a look for my problem. I have no idea about this.arrow_forwardIt pertains as to how a shape of a product is in accordance with the desired specifications.arrow_forwardA process currently services an average of 59 customers per day. Observations in recent weeks show that its utilization is about 90 percent, allowing for just a 10 percent capacity cushion. If demand is expected to be 70 percent of the current level in five years and management wants to have a capacity cushion of just 4 percent, what capacity requirement should be planned? The needed capacity requirement is nothing customers per day. (Enter your response rounded up to the next whole number.)arrow_forward
