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. (Round your answers to four decimal places. Report time in hours.)

Consider the nonlinear optimization model stated below.
Min 2x²-18x + 2XY + y² 14Y + 51
s.t.
X + 4Y ≤7
(a) Find the minimum solution to this problem.
at (X, Y) =
(b) If the right-hand side of the constraint is increased from 7 to 8, how much do you expect the objective function to change?
Based on the dual value on the constraint X + 4Y ≤7, we expect the optimal objective function value to decrease by
(c) Resolve the problem with a new right-hand side of the constraint of 8. How does the actual change compare with your estimate?
If we resolve the problem with a new right-hand-side of 8 the new optimal objective function value is
, so the actual change is a decrease of
rather than what we expected in part (b).
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…

- A local fast-food restaurant processes several customer orders at once. Service clerks’ cross paths, sometimes nearly colliding, while they trace different paths to fill customer orders. If customers order a special combination of toppings on their burgers, they must wait quite some time while the special order is cooked. How would you modify the restaurant’s operations to achieve competitive advantage? Because demand surges at lunchtime, volume flexibility is a competitive priority in the fast-food business. How would you achieve volume flexibility? What are the potential downsides of relying too heavily on automation and standardization in this industry?
