All the workstationsin a company have to be renovated and there is only one week to doit. Last year the company’s 200 workstations had all been renovatedwithin one week (40 hours). Each workstation (last year) took onaverage two hours, and 10 technicians had completed the processwithin the week. This year there will be 240 workstations torenovate but the company’s IT support unit has devised a fasterrenovation routine that will only take on average one hour and 15minutes.
