In the international arrivals area of a major US airport, 15 passengers arrive per minute, 10 of whom are US citizens or permanent residents and 5 are visitors. The immigration process is organized as follows. You passengers disembark from their aircraft and use the escalators to reach the main immigration hall. Escalators can carry up to 100 passengers per minute. Following the escalators, passengers need to go through immigration. There are separate immigration resources for citizens of the US and permanent residents (they can handle 10 passengers per minute) and for visitors (which can handle 3 visitors per minute). After immigration, all passengers collect their luggage. Baggage handling (starting with the removal of baggage from the plane and ending with the movement of baggage to conveyor belts) has a capacity of 10 passengers per minute. Finally, all passengers go through customs, which has a capacity of 20 passengers per minute. • What is the implied use of each of the resources in this process?
