How many new mothers are staying in Children’s Hospital? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
How many new mothers are staying in Swedish Hospital? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
The directors of the two hospitals are negotiating unifying the children wards of the two hospitals. They believe that by doing so they will be able to reduce the number of new mothers staying in the hospital. You may assume that the average number of births and the lengths of stay of the new mothers will not change. Are they correct?
How many new mothers will stay, on average, in the unified ward? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

f. utilization of washers, on average= 2/22.5 =8.89%
g. utilization of dryers, on average =2/40.58 =4.92%
h. WIP = 6, TR = 2 orders/hour. TT = WIP / TR = 6/2 = 3 hours
i. WIP = 6, TR = 2 orders/hour. TT = WIP / TR = 6/2 = 3 hours
j. 3+3= 6 hours
How many new mothers are staying in Children’s Hospital?
a. TR = 98per week TT = 3/7 weeks WIP = TT *TR = 98*3/7 = 42
How many new mothers are staying in Swedish Hospital?
TR = 227per week TT = 3/7 weeks WIP = TT *TR = 227*3/7 = 98
