(a)

Summary Introduction

Interpretation:The maximum capacity of store per day needs to be calculated with the help of given data.

Concept Introduction: Capacity measurement is an important concept which helps companies to make long term and short-term decisions related to capacity and thus plan for contingencies.

(a)

Explanation of Solution

A.

Given Information:

There are 5 regular lines ad 1 express lines.

Average time a customer spends in a regular line = 11 min which means that one regular line can handle 5.45 customers per day.

Average time a customer spends in an express line = 4 min which means that one express line can handle 15 customers per day.

Shift duration = 12 hours per day

Thus,

The capacity of 5 regular lines = 5.45 × 12 × 5 = 327 customers per day

The capacity of 1 express lines = 15 × 12 × 1 = 180 customers per day

Therefore, the maximum capacity of store = (327 + 180) = 507 customers per day.

Explanation of Solution

Given Information:

There are 5 regular lines ad 1 express lines.

Average time a customer spends in a regular line = 11 min which means that one regular line can handle 5.45 customers per day.

Average time a customer spends in an express line = 4 min which means that one express line can handle 15 customers per day.

Shift duration = 12 hours per day

The store’s capacity by day of the week is as follows:

    PeriodMonday
    HoursNo. of lines openCapacity (customers per day)
    9-12 noon31
    5.45 × 3 × 1 = 16.35
    12-4 PM42
    5.45 × 4 × 2 = 43.6
    4-6 PM23
    5.45 × 2 × 3 = 32.7
    6-9 PM34
    5.45 × 3 × 4 = 65.4
    Total Capacity of Regular Line (Customers per day)158.05

Since the express line is always open, and the capacity is 180 customers per day.

Therefore, the maximum capacity on Monday is 338 customers per day.

Also, the maximum capacity on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday will be 338 customers per day as same number of regular lines are open as on Monday.

    PeriodFriday
    HoursNo. of lines openCapacity (customers per day)
    9-12 noon33
    5.45 × 3 × 3 = 49.05
    12-4 PM43
    5.45 × 4 × 3 = 65.4
    4-6 PM25
    5.45 × 2 × 5 = 54.5
    6-9 PM35
    5.45 × 3 × 5 = 81.75
    Total Capacity of Regular Line (Customers per day)250.7

Since the express line is always open, and the capacity is 180 customers per day.

Therefore, the maximum capacity on Friday is 431 customers per day.

    PeriodSaturday
    HoursNo. of lines openCapacity (customers per day)
    9-12 noon35
    5.45 × 3 × 5 = 81.75
    12-4 PM45
    5.45 × 4 × 5 = 109
    4-6 PM23
    5.45 × 2 × 3 = 32.7
    6-9 PM33
    5.45 × 3 × 3 = 49.05
    Total Capacity of Regular Line (Customers per day)272.5

Since the express line is always open, and the capacity is 180 customers per day.

Therefore, the maximum capacity on Saturday is 452.5 customers per day.

    PeriodSunday
    HoursNo. of lines openCapacity (customers per day)
    9-12 noon32
    5.45 × 3 × 2 = 32.7
    12-4 PM44
    5.45 × 4 × 4 = 87.2
    4-6 PM22
    5.45 × 2 × 2 = 21.8
    6-9 PM31
    5.45 × 3 × 1 = 16.35
    Total Capacity of Regular Line (Customers per day)158.05

Since the express line is always open, and the capacity is 180 customers per day.

Therefore, the maximum capacity on Sunday is 338.5 customers per day.

analysis needs to address the following issues: The battery temperatures are a major concern for us. Can you analyze and describe the sample data? What are the average and median temperatures? How much variability is there in the temperatures? Is there anything that stands out? Our engineers’ assumption is that the temperature data is normally distributed. If that is the case, what would be the likelihood that the Safety Zone temperature will exceed 5.15 degrees? What is the probability that the Safety Zone temperature will be less than 4.65 degrees? What is the actual percentage of samples that exceed 5.25 degrees or are less than 4.75 degrees? Is the manufacturing process producing units with stable Safety Zone temperatures? Can you check if there are any apparent changes in the temperature pattern? Are there any outliers? A closer look at the Z-scores should help you in this regard.
