Note: A waiting line model solver computer package is needed to answer these questions. The Kolkmeyer Manufacturing Company uses a group of six identical machines, each of which operates an average of 23 hours between breakdowns. With randomly occurring breakdowns, the Poisson probability distribution is used to describe the machine breakdown arrival process. One person from the maintenance department provides the single-server repair service for the six machines. Management is now considering adding two machines to its manufacturing operation. This addition will bring the number of machines to eight. The president of Kolkmeyer asked for a study of the need to add a second employee to the repair operation. The service rate for each individual assigned to the repair operation is 0.40 machines per hour. (a) Compute the operating characteristics if the company retains the single-employee repair operation.

Burger Dome sells hamburgers, cheeseburgers, french fries, soft drinks, and milk shakes, as well as a limited number of specialty items and dessert selections. Although Burger Dome would like to serve each customer immediately, at times more customers arrive than can be handled by the Burger Dome food service staff. Thus, customers wait in line to place and receive their orders. Burger Dome analyzed data on customer arrivals and concluded that the arrival rate is 40 customers per hour. Burger Dome also studied the order-filling process and found that a single employee can process an average of 56 customer orders per hour. Burger Dome is concerned that the methods currently used to serve customers are resulting in excessive waiting times and a possible loss of sales. Management wants to conduct a waiting line study to help determine the best approach to reduce waiting times and improve service. Suppose Burger Dome establishes two servers but arranges the restaurant layout so that an…

The gross requirement is 900 (1 assembly) derived from the planned order release of Electrical unit. The on hand inventory is 20. Hence, the net requirement is 880. The lead time is 1 week. Therefore, the planned order release will be 888 (Lot Size = 12) in week 4 which will be the planned order receipt in week 5. The excess inventory will be available at week 6.

Planned order release				700

Week 2:

There is a scheduled receipt of 200 which can be used as inventory.

Week 5:

The gross requirement is 900 (1 assembly) derived from the planned order release of Electrical unit. The on hand inventory is 0. But, there is a scheduled receipt of 200. Hence, the net requirement is 7000. The lead time is 1 week. Therefore, the planned order release will be 700 in week 4 which will be the planned order receipt in week 5.
