A tractor shop that is staffed only by one employee. Suppose that the arrival table corresponds to a Poisson process, so that service times follow exponential distributions. Let us consider that, after observing the evolution of the workshop, it is estimated that the arrival rate is 10 vehicles per day and that the service time is one hour. Assuming that the employee fixes the tractors in strict order of arrival and taking a 12-hour working day, the following questions are asked:
a) Average time each tractor must wait to be repaired.
b) Probability that a tractor is in the workshop for more than one day.
c) Average time that a vehicle is in the system.

- The parts department of a large automobile dealership has a counter used exclusively for mechanics’ requests for parts. The time between requests can be modeled by a negative exponential distribution that has a mean of five minutes. A clerk can handle requests at a rate of 15 per hour, andthis can be modeled by a Poisson distribution that has a mean of 15. Suppose there are two clerksat the counter.a. On average, how many mechanics would be at the counter, including those being served?b. What is the probability that a mechanic would have to wait for service?c. If a mechanic has to wait, how long would the average wait be?d. What percentage of time are the clerks idle?e. If clerks represent a cost of $20 per hour and mechanics a cost of $30 per hour, what numberof clerks would be optimal in terms of minimizing total cost?The manager of a large group of employees must decidewhether she needs another photocopying machine. Thecost of a machine is $40 per eight-hour day regardlessof whether the machine is in use. On average, fourpeople need to use the copying machine per hour. Eachperson uses the copier for an average of 10 minutes.Interarrival times and copying times are exponentiallydistributed. Employees are paid $8 per hour, and weassume that a waiting cost is incurred when a worker iswaiting in line or is using the copying machine. Howmany copying machines should be rented?A Northwest Airlines ticket counter forecasts that 30 people per hour will need to check in. It takes an average of 1.5 minutes to service a customer. Assume that interarrival times and service times are exponential and that all customers wait in a single line for the first avaliable agent.If we want the average time a customer spends in line and in service to be 3 minutes or less, how many ticket agents should be on duty?
- The Delacroix Inn in Alexandria is a small exclusive hotelwith 20 rooms. Guests can call housekeeping from 8:00 A.M.to midnight for any of their service needs. Housekeepingkeeps one person on duty during this time to respond to guest calls. Each room averages 0.7 call per day to house-keeping (Poisson distributed), and a guest request requires an average response time of 30 minutes (exponentially dis-tributed) from the staff person. Determine the portion of time the staff person is busy and how long a guest must wait for his or her request to be addressed. Does the house-keeping system seem adequate?The office has a single line for customers waiting for the next available clerk. There are two clerks who work at the same rate. On average customers arrive every 8 minutes and the average service rate is 5 per hour for each of the two clerks. The arrival rate of customers follows a Poisson distribution, while the service time follows an exponential distribution. b.) What proportion of time are both clerks idle? c.) Counting each person being served and the people in line, on average, how many customers would be in this system?12-11 The Rockwell Electronics Corporation retains a service crew to repair machine breakdowns that occur on an average of λ=3 per day (approximately Poisson in nature). The crew can service an average of μ=8 machines per day, with a repair time distribution that resembles the exponential distribution. a. What is the utilization rate of this service system? b. What is the average downtime for a machine that is broken? c. How many machines are waiting to be serviced at any given time? d. What is the probability that more than one machine is in the system? Probability that more than two are broken and waiting to be repaired or being serviced? More than three? More than four?
- Customers enter the camera department of a store at the average rate of six per hour. The department is staffed by one employee, who takes an average of six minutes to serve each arrival. Assume this is a simple Poisson arrival, exponentially distributed service time situation. a. As a casual observer, how many people would you expect to see in the camera de- partment (excluding the clerk)? How long would a customer expect to spend in the camera department (total time)? b. What is the utilization of the clerk? c. What is the probability that there are more than two people in the camera department (excluding the clerk)? d. Another clerk has been hired for the camera department who also takes an average of six minutes to serve each arrival. How long would a customer expect to spend in the department now?Consider an M/G/1/GD/∞/∞ queuing system in which anaverage of 10 arrivals occur each hour. Suppose that eachcustomer’s service time follows an Erlang distribution, withrate parameter 1 customer per minute and shape parameter 4.a Find the expected number of customers waiting inline.b Find the expected time that a customer will spend inthe system.c What fraction of the time will the server be idle?
