Chapter 9. Fresh Egg Delivery service brings fresh eggs from two different egg suppliers to two Farmer's Markets in the North San Antonio area. With the costs of fuel
rising to $5 per mile driven by the delivery trucks, whether they are empty or loaded, the owner of Fresh Egg wants to make sure that he is minimizing his costs of
transportation. The distance in miles from Egg Supplier A to the First Farmer's Market is 5 miles and to the Second Farmer's Market is 6 miles. The distance in miles from
Egg Supplier B to the First Farmer's Market is 4 miles and to the Second Farmer's Market is 7 miles. The maximum number of truckloads that Egg Supplier A can provide is
20 truckloads per month, whereas Egg Supplier B can provide 30 truckloads a month. Both the Farmer's Markets have a steady demand of 25 truckloads per month, each.
As we can see the total supply available is the same as the total demand available in this system, so applying a simple transportation model can help the Fresh Egg…
Chapter 5. (M/M/s/K Model). Leia is responsible for 13 data units in the IT offices in a small business called DataWish. Each data unit runs on an average for 3 weeks and requires an average of ½ or 0.5 weeks to get reset by Leia before it can start up again. If we assign the Poisson distribution to the “arrival” of each data unit for service and an exponential distribution to the actual service provided, answer the following questions:
a. The arrival rate would be units per week and the service rate would be units per week.

- 4.Silicon Valley Transport Commission (SVTC) has a fleet of maintenance vehicles that includes cars, vans, and trucks. SVTC is currently evaluating four different approaches to help them maintain their fleet of cars and vans efficiently at the lowest possible cost. Their options are: (1) No preventive maintenance at all and repair vehicle components when they fail; (2) Take oil samples at regular intervals and perform whatever preventive maintenance is indicated by the oil analysis; (3) Perform an oil change on a regular basis on each vehicle and perform repairs when needed; (4) perform oil changes at regular intervals, take oil samples regularly, and perform maintenance repairs as indicated by the sample analysis. Option #1 costs nothing to implement and results in two possible outcomes: There is a .10 probability that a defective component will occur, requiring emergency maintenance at a cost of $1,200, or there is a chance that no defects will occur and no maintenance will be…arrow_forwardeBook Problem 10-31 A long-distance telephone company uses a fiber-optic network to transmit phone calls and other information between locations.
