The Pet Training Academy offers a 5-day training program for troubled dogs. As seen in Table 11.5, the training process requires 5 days, beginning with the dog’s arrival at 8 a.m. on day 1 and concluding with departure after a shampoo and trim at 5 p.m. on day 5.

Data from Table 11.5:

To adequately train a dog, the Academy requires Training Coaches, Dog Dietitians, Care Assistants, and Boarding Kennels where the dogs rest. The time required per dog by each employee and resource classification by process level is provided in Table 11.6.

Data from Table 11.6:

The master schedule for the trained dogs is shown in the following table, noting that departures for trained dogs are actual departures for days 1–5 and forecasted departures for days 6–12.

a. Use the information from the table to calculate the daily resource requirements in hours for employees in each category, and the hours of boarding room needed to train the dogs.
b. Assuming that each boarding kennel is available for 24 hours in a day, how many kennels will be required each day?
c. Assuming that each employee is able to work only 8 hours per day, how many people in each employee category will be required each day?
