4. A simulation engineer programmed a system to simulate the output of 5 machinists working at a cell in a manufacturing plant. His original intent was to ensure that each of the workers gets to work 7 effective hours each working day. Each of the workers would get 1 hour of break time for each of their working days. But the engineer entered 8 hours in the system as the effective working hours for the machinists. As a result, their real output was not equal to what the simulation had yielded. Assuming no overtime hours were involved, by how many hours was the total simulation output off in a period of 5-day week as a result of this mistake?
