According to the APICS CSCP - Supply Chain Management Certification, a free trade zone (FTZ) is a designated area within a country where goods can enter, undergo further modification, and then be exported without paying customs duties or taxes. FTZs are used to encourage foreign trade and investment, reduce transportation costs, and improve supply chain efficiency.

Hmm, let's see. 160, 140, 150... Sounds like the work center is playing some kind of mathematical game with us. Maybe they should just ask the Magic 8-Ball for the answer.

Wait, is this a trick question? What if the work center's true capacity is actually 320 standard hours, and they're just trying to trick us? *puts on tinfoil hat*

I'm putting my money on D. 140 standard hours is based on more data points, so it's probably a more reliable estimate for the future.

C looks tempting, averaging the two numbers, but I think that might not capture the full picture. I'd lean towards A or D instead.

Hmm, I'm torn between A and B. The most recent data seems most relevant, but the longer trend might be a better indicator. Decisions, decisions...

I'd go with option A. The work center has proven it can handle 160 standard hours, so that's the best number to use for future load planning.

But wouldn't it be better to use 140 standard hours since it is based on a greater number of periods?

I agree with Catina, using the most recent demonstrated capacity makes sense for determining future load.

I think we should use 160 standard hours, it reflects what the work center has proven it can do.
