Chapter 13, Problem 1.1C

Please do not give solution in image format thanku There are approximately 300 customers shopping in Fackert Department Store in Mexico City between 9 A.M. and 5 P.M. on Saturdays. All those entering the store will make purchases. When deciding how many cash registers to keep open each Saturday, owner Susanna Fackert considers 2 factors: customer waiting time (and the associated waiting cost) and the service costs of employing additional checkout clerks. Checkout clerks are paid an average of $4 per hour. When only 1 is on duty, the waiting time to checkout per customer is about 10 minutes (or 1/6 of an hour); when 2 clerks are on duty, average waiting time is 6 minutes per person; 4 minutes when 3 clerks are working; and 3 minutes with 4 clerks. Ms. Fackert has conducted customer satisfaction surveys and has been able to estimate that the store suffers approximately $5 in lost sales and goodwill for every hour of customer time spent in line waiting to checkout. Using the information…

Mrs. Freddy Mitchell, in her lecture, stated that a transaction processing system (TPS) is software that ensures the completion of business transactions and keeps track of those business transactions. An online transaction processing system (OTPS) is an equivalent system that online merchants use for e-commerce. The TPS ensures that each transaction is successful by storing, sending, and receiving information via a database. She added that because the process is lengthy, it is broken down into cycles, which are broken further into systems and subsystems. Zara- Lee, a participant in Mrs. Freddy Mitchell’s Lecture series, got confused as Mrs. Freddy Mitchell began to elaborate on the many different systems, and Zara- Lee mentioned to YOU that she is experiencing information overload. YOU then responded that Mrs. Freddy Mitchell’s explanation was clear and concise, and YOU would explain the revenue cycle, its components, and the sub-systems that constitute that cycle after class.…

suppose tht a queueing system has two identical servers, and an exponential service-time distribution with a mean of 1/u=10minutes. furthermore, a customer has just arrived to find two in the system. how long would you expect him to wait before being able to start service?

A fast-food restaurant offers a variety of products: from pre-made packaged sandwiches to milkshakes with different flavors. Many customers order one item time, other customers order multiple items. Sometimes customers buy the pre- made items, and some customers actually ask the restaurant to cook their food while they wait. The restaurant manager has kept careful records of some queuing statistics over several weeks. According to this data, the staff needs 4 minutes on average to serve a random customer. On average, the restaurant served 120 customers on a given day. This restaurant is open from 9 AM to 9 PM every day, and has a single service counter. If you want to help the manager measure this restaurant's waiting line performance, which of the following should you use? Exponential Service Rate Model The Finite Source Model Constant Service Rate Model O The multi phase single channel model

Explain in a queueing analysis what are the most typical measurements of system performance?

When you are connected to a representative, it will be, with equal probability, somebody from the billing department, customer retention department, or marketing department. When talking to a billing representative, the time until the issue is resolved is distributed uniformly from 10 to 20 minutes. Customer retention specialist will resolve you issue in exactly 2 minutes. Marketing person will first discuss with you promotions and new offers (this time will be normally distributed with average 10 minutes and standard deviation 2 minutes) and then transfer you to a new representative, who will, again be from one of the three departments with equal probability. What is the expected time that you will spend on the phone?

In an analytical queueing model, service times measure   a. rates.   b. completion percentage.   c. demand.   d. process components.

Two methods are used to predict how many customers will call in for help in the next four days. The first method predicts the numbers of callers to be 49, 42, 46, and 50 for the four respective days. The second method predicts 48, 43, 47, and 49 for the four respective days. The actual numbers of callers turn out to be 50, 40, 45, and 48. Which method has the smaller mean absolute error (MAE)? O Both methods have the same MAE The second method. The first method O Cannot be determined
