The Yum and Yee food truck near the business school serves customers during lunch hour by taking orders and making fresh batchesof stir-fry. Customers have only one choice during the lunch hour so that Y&Y can maximize the number of customers served. Assumethat each customer places just one lunch order, and all lunch orders are the same size: one unit of stir-fry. The stir-fry cooking works inthis manner. First, one person cooks a batch of orders in a wok. The cooking depends upon the number of orders in the batch. Thetime to cook just one order is 3.3 minutes. For each additional order in the batch, it takes 0.5 minute more to cook. Thus, cooking twoorders in a batch takes 3.8 minutes, cooking three orders takes 4.3 minutes, and so on. The other process is bagging and acceptingpayments (done by a separate person), which takes 0.9 minute per order.(Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)a.

Suppose you manage the local Scoopy’s ice cream parlor. In addition to selling ice cream cones, you make large batches of a few flavors of milkshakes to sell throughout the day. Your parlor is chosen to test the company’s “Made-for-You” system. This new system enables patrons to customize their milkshakes by choosing different flavors. Customers like the new system and your staff appears to be adapting, but you wonder whether this new made-to-order system is as efficient as the old system in which you just made a few large batches. Efficiency is a special concern because your performance is evaluated in part on the restaurant’s efficient use of materials and labor. Your superiors consider efficiency variances greater than 5% to be unacceptable. You decide to look at your sales for a typical day. You find that the parlor used 390 pounds of ice cream and 72 hours of direct labor to produce and sell 2,000 shakes. The standard quantity allowed for a shake is 0.2 pounds of ice cream and…

Sammy Sausages is a sausage processing business run by Samuel Smith. The sausages are made fresh every day and delivered to the fast food outlets the same day. The prime ingredient is premium quality minced beef. Each day 708 kilograms is used to produce 700 kilograms of sausages.

Consider the checkout process of a grocery store with ten identical cashiers performing the checkout process. First, assume that each cashier has her own separate checkout queue and that customers arrive at each case with an average arrival rate of 12 per hour. It takes 4.8 minutes on average to check a customer out. Assume that both the inter-arrival times and service times have a coefficient variation of 1. 1) How long on average does a customer wait from joining the queue in front of a cashier until her checkout is complete? 2) On average, how many customers are waiting in the queue in total? ( Including all queues)? 3) Now suppose the ten queues are pooled together so that there is one common queue.
