2. Customers arrive at a milk booth for the required service. Assume that the inter-arrival and service times are constant and are given by 2.4 and 8 time units, respectively. Simulate the system by hand computations for 22 time units. Assume that the system starts at t=0. i. What is the average waiting time per customer? ii. What is the average waiting time per customer for those who must wait? iii. What is the percentage idle time of the facility?

SIMULATION AND MODELING 

1. XYZ has a policy of ordering stock when level falls to 15 units the quantity ordered from the supply is always 20 units. The stock at beginning of 1st week is 20 units. The stock holding costs are sh. 10 per week / unit. The cost of placing one order = 25. The stocks out cost are Sh100 per unit. The usage (demand) and lead time (time taken by supply to deliver stock) is uncertain as shown below.

NB: Ordering is done the following week upon discovery of the shortages.
