a

Summary Introduction

Interpretation:Current values of mean and the MAD of monthly demand is to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Exponential smoothing is used to recursively update the estimates of the mean and standard deviation of demand. The standard deviation is estimated using the mean absolute deviation (MAD).

b

Summary Introduction

Interpretation:Current values of mean and standard deviation of lead time demand are to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Normal distribution is the probability function with continuous series. It is bell shaped distribution function where mean, median and mode are same.

Exponential smoothing is used to recursively update the estimates of the mean and standard deviation of demand. The standard deviation is estimated using the mean absolute deviation (MAD).

c

Summary Introduction

Interpretation:Current values of mean and standard deviation of lead time demand when ordered from Japan are to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Exponential smoothing is used to recursively update the estimates of the mean and standard deviation of demand. The standard deviation is estimated using the mean absolute deviation (MAD).

d

Summary Introduction

Interpretation:Value of reorder is to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Exponential smoothing is used to recursively update the estimates of the mean and standard deviation of demand. The standard deviation is estimated using the mean absolute deviation (MAD).

Say women on average take twice as long in the restroom (not including waiting times) than men. Is the 2:1 ration for flushing capacity the right ratio?
To what extent does the equation for the waiting time in the queue help explain why queues for the Women's room might be longer than queues for the Men's room before 2005 in New York City?
Besides adding flushing capacity for the women's bathrooms versus men's bathrooms, what can be done to reduce waiting time for the restrooms?
