Operations ManagementOn a given Hong Kong-Singapore flight, thereare 300 seats. Suppose the ticket price is 400Singapore dollars (SGD) and the number ofpassengers who reserve a seat but do not showup for departure is normally distributed withmean 40 and standard deviation 24. You decideto overbook the flight and estimate that the netcost of an involuntary boarding denial (if thenumber of passengers exceeds the number ofseats) is SGD900 (everything considered).Given the optimal number of reservations, whatis the probability that you won't need to dealwith bumped passengers?

In the central railway station, 15 computerised reservation counters are available. A customer can book his/her ticket in any train on any day in any of these computerised reservation counters. The average time spent on each customer by each clerk is five minutes.

A retail catalog operation employs a bank of six telephone operators who process orders using computer terminals. When a terminal breaks down, it must be disconnected and taken to a nearby electronic repair shop, where it is repaired. The mean time between terminal breakdowns is six working days, and the mean time required to repair a terminal is two working days (both exponentially distributed). As a result of lost sales, it costs the mail-order operation an estimated $50 per day in lost profits each day a terminal is out for repair. The company pays the electronics repair shop $3000 per year on a service agreement to repair the terminals. The company is considering the possibility of signing a new service agreement with another electronics repair shop that will provide subsitutute terminals while the broken ones are at the repair shop. However, the new service agreement would cost the mail-order operation $15,000 per year. Assuming that there are 250 working days in a year, determine…
