I feel like I should be able to get this, but I keep mixing up the definitions of service level and fill rate. I hope I remember the right approach!

I think the formula involves total line items and backorders, but I can't quite recall the exact numbers we need to use.

This question seems similar to one we practiced where we had to find the percentage of items shipped on time. I think I might lean towards option C or D.

I remember we calculated service levels in class, but I'm not sure how to apply it to backorders specifically.

Okay, I think I've got this. I'll calculate the total line items, subtract the backorder line items, and then divide the on-schedule line items by the total to get the percentage. I just need to be careful with the math and units.

This seems pretty straightforward. I'll just need to do the math to find the total line items, the line items shipped on schedule, and then calculate the percentage. I'm confident I can work through this step-by-step.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about how to approach this. I think I need to find the total number of line items and then subtract the number of backorder line items to get the number shipped on schedule. But I'm not sure how to calculate the percentage from there.

Hmm, 97% seems reasonable, but I wonder if they could do better. It's all about meeting those customer expectations, am I right?

Customer expectations are high, so 97% might not cut it.

I'm not sure, but I think the answer might be D) 99% because that would mean almost all orders are shipped on time.

I agree with Kasandra, because achieving a 98% on-time shipment rate is considered a high level of customer service.
