What is the planned backlog for day 56 if the previous planned backlog was 7 hours, with planned input of 14 hours and planned output of 15 hours?

-7 hours
0 hours
6 hours
8 hours

The correct answer is: 6 hours

To determine the planned backlog, we can use the formula: **Planned Backlog (Current Day) = Planned Backlog (Previous Day) + Planned Input - Planned Output.** In this scenario: - The previous planned backlog was 7 hours. - The planned input for day 56 is 14 hours. - The planned output for day 56 is 15 hours. So, we can plug these values into the formula: **Planned Backlog (Day 56) = 7 hours + 14 hours - 15 hours.** Calculating that: **Planned Backlog (Day 56) = 7 + 14 - 15 = 6 hours.** This calculation indicates that the planned backlog for day 56 will be 6 hours. It reflects the balance between the input and output activities planned for that day, adjusted for the previous backlog. This result shows that even though there was a positive input, the output exceeded it slightly, resulting in a manageable backlog of 6 hours.
