- The small mail-order firm Sea’s Beginning has onephone line. An average of 60 people per hour call inorders, and it takes an average of one minute to handlea call. Time between calls and time to handle calls areexponentially distributed. If the phone line is busy, Sea’sBeginning can put up to c 2 1 people on hold. If c 2 1people are on hold, a caller gets a busy signal and calls acompetitor. Sea’s Beginning wants only 1% of all callersto get a busy signal. How many people should it be ableto put on hold, that is, what is the required value of c?During an eight-hour shift, 750 non-defective parts are desired as a result of a manufacturing operation. The default operation time is 15 minutes. As the operators of machine are inexperienced, the actual time they take to perform the operation is 20 minutes, and, on average, a fifth of the parts that start to be manufactured are lost. Assuming that each one of the machines used in this operation will not be available for one hour in each shift, determine the number of machines needed.1. A multiple channel queuing system with a Poisson arrival rate, and an exponential service time distribution has an average arrival rate of 2.5 customers per hour and an average service time of eighty minutes per customer. A queuing system is described as unstable or overloaded if its utilization rate is greater than, or equal to one. For the system just described, what is the minimum number of servers required to retain stability i.e., to avoid overloading? A. 2 B. 3 C. 1 D. 4
- Smith Inc. is a retail mail order firm that currently uses a centralized collection system that requires all checks to be sent to its flotation headquarters. An average of 6 days is required for mailed checks to be received, 3 days for Smith Inc. to process them, and 2 days for the checks to clear through its bank. A proposed lockbox system would decrease the mailing and processing time to 2 days and the check clearing time for 1 day. Smith Inc. has an average daily collection of P250,000. If Smith Inc. adopts this proposed lockbox system, its average cash balance will increase by.

- A grocery store has three open checkout counters. There is a single queue leading up to these three counters. On average, 45 shoppers arrive at this queue. The coefficient of variation of the interarrival time is equal to 1. The average service capacity of each of the three servers is 18 customers per hour, and the coefficient of variation of service time distribution for each server is 3.

(b) (7 points) On average, how many customers are waiting in the queue?A small bank is trying to determine how many tellers toemploy. The total cost of employing a teller is $100 perday, and a teller can serve an average of 60 customersper day.

A salesperson can deal with one customer in 5 minutes on average and costs the company $100 per shift in salaries and fringe benefits. Service times closely follow an exponential distribution. The manager is reviewing the number of salespersons to schedule for each shift. The cost of customers waiting before they receive service has been estimated at $2 per minute in terms of lost sales and loss of goodwill. a.
