The VMS company introduced in the preceding question has also recently introduced another new product, the UbiqiScan, which is a mobile imaging device.

The production of the UbiqiScan is completely independent of the production of all of the other products that VMS produces; it is produced in a separate facility dedicated to it, as well as by a production team that is dedicated exclusively to it. UbiqiScans are produced strictly on a make-to-order basis and only one UbiqiScan unit is produced at a time.

VMS has determined that UbiqiScan production is following a learning curve with a learning rate that corresponds to a learning parameter of b = 0.2009.

The first UbiqiScan unit required 6589.0 production hours. The production of the fourth unit has recently been completed and shipped, and the UbiqiScan production line is awaiting a new order to commence production. All of the requisite raw materials and parts needed to produce as many as five units are already in VMS's inventory.

A customer has just contacted VMS and wishes to place an order for 2 UbiqiScans (i.e., 2 units). Because the units are expensive and the customer's need for the product is critical, the customer has requested an estimate from the company on how long it will take to complete the 2-unit order.

VMS's maximum production capacity for the UbiqiScan is 595 production hours per week.

Assume that both units will be shipped together immediately after the last unit in the order has been completed and that the time required to pack and ship the order should not be included in the estimated completion time.

Assuming that UbiqiScan production continues to follow the learning curve that VMS has estimated and that this order will be scheduled next for production,

how many weeks will it take VMS to complete the customer's order?
