You are in charge of the department that receives the product in to the building and
stows it to the bin where it is accessible by the department. you have two options on
how to receive and stow the product. In the first option, you receive the product at 250
units per labor hour and stow it at 100 units per labor hour. You must receive it and stow
it for the unit to count for production. This process results in 1% of the units stowed
being incorrect. You can find and fix these errors at a rate of 20 units for labor hour with
what you believe is almost 100% accuracy. In the second option, you receive and stow
the product in one step vs. two. The rate for this process is 80 units per labor hours for
receive and stow. This process results in 1.5% of the units being stowed being
incorrect. You can find and fix these errors at a rate of 20 units per hour with what you
believe is almost 100% accuracy. 1. Which option woul - CORRECT ANSWERS-27
▼
I like the top answer, but it's a bit complex.....lets make this simple. Start with a setting a
production goal at a number that is easy to work with. Lets say 1,000 Units. In option A
it would take 4 Labor hours to receive 1,000 units (1,000/250=4) and it would take 10
labor hours to stow 1,000 units 1,000/100=10). 1,000 units X the error rate of .01 = 10
errors. Since you can correct 20 errors in an hour it would take .5 hours to correct the
10 mistakes. So for Option A it would take a total of 14.5 hours (4+10+.5=14.5) to
receive and stow 1,000 units. In option B you can receive and stow at a rate of 80 units
per hour. So 1,000/80 = 12.5 hours. There is a error rate of 1.5% using this method. So
1000 X .015 = 15 errors. Since we can correct 20 mistakes per hour it would take .75
hours to correct the mistakes. The total hours to receive and stow 1,000 units using this
option at 13.25 hours (12.5+.75=13.25).
had a line out the door and that had never happened before. I could have been stressed
and just closed the doors. But I always over prepare in case of the worst case scenario
and I quickly took initiative to see what other options we had. I had previously bought a
receipt book for a worst case scenario we could use that for cash payments. I also had
bought a Square space attachable equipment to any IPAD.

Manager? - CORRECT ANSWERS-Firstly, I think there are many attributes and
qualities that make a competent Area Manager. The basis of what makes a competent

be able to do the same.

objectives while also truly embodying Amazon's core values.
