hours: 7.3 seconds.
DISADVANTAGES• Customers make decision in
system• Customers spend on average 4.8m

To help alleviate bottleneck:
1.Make signs clearer
2.Add “New Flavor” sign to call attention
Insert other products into system:
3.Cake sign above the flavors

Current Practices for Quality Management Control
Strawberries
• Ordered in 2-3 cases
• High demand
• 1 case= 4 packages, 32 oz
• 1 package makes 2 batches
• Avg. demand = 3 batches/day
Bananas
• Ordered in single cases
• Low demand
• SS = as low as 2 bananas
• LT = 1 day
• perishable
