MetrоLink Rаil оperаtes а busy regiоnal passenger rail system serving multiple metropolitan areas. Due to a recent expansion in service routes and increased passenger volume, the company expects a significant rise in customer inquiries related to ticketing, delays, and schedule changes. To maintain service quality, MetroLink must schedule an adequate number of customer support agents throughout the day. Customer support demand varies by time of day, and management wants to determine the minimum-cost staffing plan that satisfies service requirements in each time period. Customer Support Demand by Time Period The minimum number of agents required during each 4-hour time period is shown in the table below. Time Period Minimum Agents Required 6:00 AM – 10:00 AM 50 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM 70 2:00 PM – 6:00 PM 65 6:00 PM – 10:00 PM 75 10:00 PM – 2:00 AM 40 2:00 AM – 6:00 AM 20 Available Shifts and Staffing Costs Customer service agents at MetroLink Rail work 8-hour shifts, each covering two consecutive 4-hour time periods. To ensure continuous coverage throughout the day, MetroLink offers five possible shift options that begin at different times. Because labor costs vary by time of day— particularly for evening and overnight work—the daily cost per agent depends on the shift assigned. The table below summarizes each available shift and its associated daily staffing cost. Shift Shift Hours Daily Cost per Agent Shift 1 6:00 AM – 2:00 PM $165 Shift 2 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM $160 Shift 3 2:00 PM – 10:00 PM $170 Shift 4 6:00 PM – 2:00 AM $180 Shift 5 10:00 PM – 6:00 AM $195 Questions How many agents should be assigned to Shift 4 at the optimal solution?
