A medical research organization has 16 doctors on their payroll that facilitate the research by examining the research participants on a scheduled basis. Currently, the doctors are not coping anymore with their workload as the organization has taken on too many projects for the number of doctors that they employ. The CEO of the organization has contracted an industrial engineering consulting firm to analyze the work that the doctors do. The industrial engineering consultants determined that 30% of the time the doctors are doing routine examination work that can be done by nurses. Assume a 40-hour workweek.
