A class-based storage policy is applied to a unit load warehouse that uses single command cycles. See Graph A attached to the exam. This results in the average travel distance to perform a single command cycle to each of the storage classes as:

  • For A items (25 best squares) = 53.8 feet/cycle
  • For B items (35 next-best squares) = 85.1 feet/cycle
  • For C items (60 worst squares) = 108.4 feet/cycle

An average of 1000 pallet loads is received daily and 1000 pallet loads are shipped daily. 75% of operations are for A items, 20% are for B items, and 5% are for C items. If one person can travel at 118 feet per minute and the extraction (e.g., pickup or drop off) time is 20 seconds, how many FTE (full-time equivalent) operators are needed to meet the average throughput requirements. Round your answer to 3 decimal places.
