Casper Geriatric Center, a senior medical facility located in a large hospital in NewZealand, started a procedure where their guests receive their meals in their rooms whilethe food is still as hot as possible. The facility will continue to prepare the food in thecommissary, but will now deliver it in bulk (not individual servings) to one of three newmeal serving stations in the building. From there, the food will be reheated, meals will beplaced on individual trays, loaded onto a cart, and distributed to the various floors andsections of the facility.The three new serving stations are as efficiently located as possible to reach the varioushallways in the facility. The purpose of the new procedure is to increase the temperatureof the hot meals that the guest receives. Therefore, the amount of time needed to deliver atray from a serving station will determine the proper distribution of food from servingstation to section. The table below summarizes the time associated with each possibledistribution channel.DISTRIBUTION TIME (minutes)TO: DESTINATIONSFROM:Section A Section B Section C Section D Section E Section FSOURCESStation 10J12118966Station 6G612778Station 2L9.679.Station 10J can supply 200 meals.

The provincial government plans to distribute certain types of vaccines to the 3 major urban centers of the province covering a large portion of the provincial population. The 5 million doses of vaccines are expected to arrive in large batches at one of the major cargo airports by 2 military transporter airplanes in a single day. The vaccines will then be distributed to the 3 cities with the number of doses corresponding to the population sizes of the 3 cities. They will be further distributed to the 20 hospitals and about 200 local clinics in these 3 cities. Officials of the provincial health agency must plan for the upcoming vaccine distribution.

ABC Apple Juice Company produces and markets fresh fruit juice. During the apple harvest season, trucks bring apples from the fields to the process plant during a workday that runs long hours from 7AM. On peak days, approximately 3,000 kg of apples are trucked in per hour. Trucks dump their contents in a holding bin with a storage capacity of 9,000 kg. When the bin is full, incoming trucks must wait until it has sufficient available space. A conveyor moves apples from bin to the processing plant. The plant is configured to process apples at the rate of 2,000 kg per hour. Trucks arrive uniformly between 7:00AM to 5:00PM. Each truck holds about 1,000 kg of apples. The truck drivers are paid at the rate of $10 per hour. As ABC makes fresh juice, it does not store apples. Processing plant starts at 10:00AM and ends when all the apples received during the day have been processed. It takes 2 hours to clean the empty plant that must be kept ready for the next day production. Trucks are owned…

The 4M company has a lathe as the centerpiece of the plant's work. The jobs arrive according to a Poisson process with an average rate of 2 per day. The processing time of each job is exponentially distributed with an average of 1/ 4 day. Since the jobs are large, if they are not in process they are stored in a warehouse some distance from the machine. However, to save time in bringing them in, the production manager proposes to add space for 3 in-process jobs in addition to the one on the lathe (the rest will continue to be stored). With this proposal, what proportion of the time will the space next to the lathe be adequate for the waiting jobs? Calculate your answer using the formulas available.
