Q: Switching out the french supplier seems like a good option for reducing processing time on inbound logistics, but we’ll need to confirm how much time we’d save by doing this. Consider the following additional information on this process step: • The French supplier we’d swap out reflects 10% of items shipped to customers • Our orders contain on average 2 items • All local UK suppliers ship to us in 0.5 days . The inbound logistics process step takes 1 day on average.
Given this information, can you calculate the shipping time for the current French supplier we’re using?
Can someone solve this? (answer: 3 days)
