$1.$ Produce a problem statement

$2.$ Explain how the receiving area was a significant bottleneck in the hospital$$s

internal flow.

$3.$ Discuss problems caused by the average $3-$day lead time variability and

average lead time to one day would eliminate most of these problems.

$4.$ Explain how the receiving area approach to handling packages was $$batch

oriented$$ and how it fostered processing and delivery problems, process

variability and the average three$-$day lead time. First, consider what $$batchoriented$$ means in this context. How is the process $$batch oriented$?$ Explain

how a single$-$piece flow would reduce lead time and associated problems. What

does single$-$piece flow mean in this context
