- Question 3) Waiting Line Analysis Helen runs a small shop where she provides a service. She is able to process an average of 8 customers per hour. An average of 5 customers per hour seek this service at her shop. What is: a) the probability that Helen will not be working with a customer (no customers) when the shop phone rings? b) the probability of 4 customers in the system? c) the average time a customer spends waiting in line (in minutes)?arrow_forwardQuestion related to queing theory don't copy In a tool crib, workers come to take tools at 6 per hour on the average. Waiting for them costs Rs. 12 per hour. The service time per worker is in the tool crib is 12 minutes. What will be total waiting cost of the workers per day if it is 8 hours a day? Assume M/M/1 queuing system.arrow_forwardQuestion related to gueing theory don't copy Machines fail at 4 per hour and the cost of non-productive machine is Rs. 282 per hour.

- 13. Give an example of a single-phase queuing system.arrow_forwardQUESTION 10 MM2 has a queuing problem where customers who line up to pay their selections form the waiting line. The MM2 system consists of an arrival rate of 3 per hour according to a Poisson distribution, and service times are on average equal to 16 minutes per customer. What is the number of customers waiting in the queue on average? O&1.333 Ob.4.0 Oc.0.952 Od32 O.0.152arrow_forwardQuestion related to queing theory An overhead crane of ABC Ltd. moves jobs from one machine to another and must be used every time a machine requires loading or unloading. The demand for service is random. Data taken by recording the elapsed time between service calls followed an exponential distribution having a mean of a call every 26 minutes. In a similar manner, the actual service time of loading or unloading took an average of 10 minutes. If the machine time is valued at Rs. 8.50 per hour, how much does the downtime cost per day?arrow_forward

Identify 10 real-life examples of queuing systems with which you are familiar.arrow_forwardQuestion 8 (Atlantic Video) Atlantic Video, a small video rental store in Philadelphia, is open 24 hours a day, and—due to its proximity to a major business school—experiences customers arriving around the clock. A recent analysis done by the store manager indicates that there are 30 customers arriving every hour, with a standard deviation of interarrival times of 2 minutes. This arrival pattern is consistent and is independent of the time of day. The checkout is currently operated by one employee, who needs on average 1.7 minutes to check out a customer. The standard deviation of this check-out time is 3 minutes, primarily as a result of customers taking home different numbers of videos. a. If you assume that every customer rents at least one video (i.e., has to go to the checkout), what is the average time a customer has to wait in line before getting served by the checkout employee, not including the actual checkout time (within 1 minute)? b. If there are no customers requiring…arrow_forward
- Question 9 In Littlefield Labs, each order is processed at three stations before being completed and sent to customers. Suppose at the peak demand (i.e., after 180 days in the game) the flow rate is 10 orders per day. And the average inventory at station 1, station 2 and station 3 are 72, 65 and 70 kits, respectively (these include kits being processed as well as those in queues). What is the average lead time (in hours) o complete an order? Please specify your answer in at least 2 decimal points. (Remember 1 order has 60 kits, each day has 24 hours).
