"The kitchen supervisor of a large hospital foodservice facility needs to order lettuce. On average, the hospital uses half a case of lettuce per day. Two-and-one-half cases are in inventory on the day the chef will place the order. The chef also knows that the lead time is three days and that the par stock for lettuce is eight cases. How many cases should the chef order?"

The chef should order 7 cases of lettuce.

Explanation:

Lettuce is a leafy vegetable enriched with vitamin C, calcium and potassium. Hence it is commonly used in the hospital foodservice facility.  

The kitchen supervisor decided to order some lettuce cases. On discussing with the chef, he came to know that half a case of lettuce is used per day. They have a stock of two-and-one-half cases of lettuces on the day of order. The lead time of the lettuce is three days. So the chef decided to order seven cases of lettuce.
