    The correct answer is 372 cases.

    Explanation:

    According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

    Average cases per day = 1,700

    Total hours in one day = 16 hour

    So, Average cases per hour = 1,700 : 16 = 106.25 cases

    cycle time = 3.5 hours

    So, we can calculate the WIP level by using following formula:

    WIP = Average cases per hour * cycle time

    = 106.25 * 3.5

    = 372 Cases (approx.)

    Hence, the WIP level is 372 cases.
