Problem 3 - Quest Diagnostics - 35 points Quest Labs processes COVID tests that Clemson University uses to test students and staff. The table below gives the number of test kits that Clemson expects to administer in each of the next 5 days. After the test is administered, the tests are immediately sent to Quest for same-day processing Quest can process 500 tests per day, using its regular staff, at a cost of $12 per test. If more than 500 tests are to be processed on any day, overtime is used. Using overtime, Quest can process an additional 100 kits per day, at a cost of $20 per kit. If they must process more than 600 kits per day, they're in a backlog situation. A backlog means there's a day delay in getting the results back. Neither Clemson nor Quest wants backlogs Thus, Quest incurs a penalty of $15 per test for a test which they can't deliver the results in the same day as the test was administered. Fill in the table below to show # of kits processed on regular time/overtime, backlogs and ALL costs associated with your plan. 30 pts Day 5 Day 1 300 Day 2 300 Day 3 625 Day 4 500 Expected # of tests given 550 # processed - including any backlogs # Processed on Regular Time #Processed on Overtime Backlogs Regular-Time Processing Cost Overtime Processing Cost Backlog Cost *To be processed the next day Why is a level 'production strategy' not an option here? 5 pts TOTAL SUMS
