- What is importants of Waiting-Line Analysis?arrow_forwardQuestion 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).

- Question 3 [Soalan 31 Jeruk Pak Abu's Store in Butterworth, Pulau Pinang, maintains a successful catalog sales department in which a clerk takes orders by telephone. If the clerk is occupied on one line, incoming phone calls to the catalog department are answered automatically by a recording machine and asked to wait. As soon as the clerk is free, the party who has waited the longest is transferred and serviced first. Calls come in at a rate of about 12 per hour. The clerk can take an order in an average of 4 minutes. Calls tend to follow a Poisson distribution, and service times tend to be negative exponential. The cost of the clerk is RM10 per hour, but because of lost good -will and sales, Jeruk Pak Abu's Store loses about RM25 per hour of customer time spent waiting for the clerk to take an order.

The processing time at the workstation averages 1.2 minutes per unit (exponentially distributed). The manufacturing company estimates that each unit of in process inventory at the workstation costs $31 per day (on the average). However, the company can add extra employees and reduce the processing time to 0.90 minute per unit at a cost of $52 per day. Determine whether the company should continue the present operation or add extra employees.arrow_forward
- Question 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.
