Eat well is a small drive through fast food restaurant, staffed by an efficient employee John, is located in a super mall area. Customers arrive at the counter at an average of one every 15 minutes, and the customer arrival follows a Poisson distribution. John takes at most 10 minutes to process each food order. a) What is average number of customer being served at any time? b) The expected number of customers waiting to be served. c) Compute the average time customer wait in the system.

Joe Hammer is thinking about setting up a special counter for the do-it-yourself customers at which they can get, not only help where to find products in the store ,but also some quick advice about the best way to handle their upcoming projects. Experience has taught Joe that six minutes is a good figure to allow for the average time required to serve a “do-it-yourselfer” and that these customers will arrive every 15 minutes throughout the day. a.) If joe sets up the counter under these conditions, what operating characteristics might he expect ? b.) What might Joe do to avoid the costs of idleness ? c.) What is the likelihood(probability) that three or more customers will be at the counter, either waiting or being served ,at any given time ? Calculate the Utilization rate, idleness rate ,Average time in queue, Average time in system, Average number in queue, Average number in system,and probability that three or more customers will be in the counter system at the same time.
A vending machine dispenses hot chocolate or coffee. Service time is 35 seconds per cup and is constant. Customers arrive at a mean rate of 66 per hour, and this rate is Poisson-distributed. a. Determine the average number of customers waiting in line. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Average number of customers ?? b. Determine the average time customers spend in the system. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Average time minutes ??
A priority waiting system assigns arriving customers to one of four classes. Arrival rates (Poisson) of the classes are shown in the following table. Five servers process the customers, and eachcan handle three customers per hour.a. What is the system utilization?b. What is the average wait for service by customers in the various classes? How many are waiting in each class, on average?c. If the arrival rate of the second priority class could be reduced to three units per hour by shifting some arrivals into the third priority class, how would your answers to part b change?d. What observations can you make based on your answers to part c?

Paula Caplin is manager of a major electronics repair facility owned by Fisher Electronics. Recently, top management expressed concern over the growth in the number of repair jobs in process at the facility. The average arrival rate is 120 jobs per day. The average job spends four days at the facility.a. What is the current work-in-process level at the facility?b. Suppose that top management has put a limit of one-half the current level of work-in-process. What goal must Paula establish, and how might she accomplish it?
. A manager must determine requirements for waiting space for customers. A priority system isused to process customers, who are assigned to one of two classes when they enter the processingcenter. The highest-priority class has an arrival rate of four per hour; the other class has an arrivalrate of two per hour. Both can be described as Poisson-distributed. There are two servers, andeach can process customers in an average of 15 minutes.a. What is the system utilization?b. Determine the number of customers of each class that are waiting for service.c. Determine the average waiting time for each class.d. If the manager could alter the assignment rules so that arrival rates of the two classes wereboth 3/hour, what would be the revised average waiting time for each priority class?
Eat Well is a tiny drive-through quick food restaurant in a shopping malltown, manned by an efficient employee named John. Customers arrive at the counter at a rate of one per 15 minutes on average, with a Poisson delivery for customer entry. Each food order takes John no more than ten minutes to process. a) How many customers are handled on average at any given time? b) The anticipated amount of clients that would be represented. c) Determine the average consumer wait time in the scheme. d) How much of the day is John Idle idle?
Questions 1. Compute the midpoints for arrival and service times and apply it to construct the appropriate random number mappings for the random variables starting from 00 2. Simulate 15 customers arriving at the using the random numbers given below. 3. What is the average time a customer waits for service? THIS IS NOT GRADED ASSIGNMENT, THIS IS PRACTICE FOR EXAMS
A call center has been serving 900 customers per day, with a 10% capacity cushion. There have been complaints about the length of time customers have to wait before their call is answered. If the manager of the call center wants to double the capacity cushion, how much extra capacity is needed?
(Need all three parts) Question 4- A Starbucks shop decides to install an automatic coffee vending machine outside one of its stores to reduce the number of people standing in line inside. The cost of one coffee on the machine is 3.50$. The service time is a constant 3 minutes, and the arrival rate is 15 person per hour with a Poisson distribution.(You can use the Excel calculator to solve this question) 1- What is the average wait in line? 2- What is the average number of people in line? 3- Starbucks decides to increase the price to 5$ per cup and take 60 seconds off the service time. But this increase in the price reduce the arrival rate to 10 person per hour. Now, what is the average wait time and the average number of people in the line? For question 4, type the correct answer in front of each sub-question. Also, please copy an image of the excel file you answer the question.
Determining the Number of ServersIn the service department of the Glenn-Mark Auto Agency, mechanics requiring parts for auto repair or service present their request forms at the parts department counter. The parts clerk fills a request while the mechanic waits. Mechanics arrive in a random (Poisson) fashion at the rate of 40 per hour, and a clerk can fill requests at the rate of 20 per hour (exponential).If the cost for a parts clerk is $30 per hour and the cost for a mechanic is $60 per hour, determine the optimum number of clerks to staff the counter. (Because of the high arrival rate, an infinite source may be assumed.)
A) A crew of mechanics at the Highway Department Garage repair vehicles that break down at an average of λ = 7.5 vehicles per day (approximately Poisson in nature). The mechanic crew can service an average of μ = 12 vehicles per day with a repair time distribution that approximates a negative exponential distribution. (a) What is the utilization rate for this service system? (b) What is the average time before the facility can return a breakdown to service? (c) How much of that time is spent waiting for service? (d) How many vehicles are likely to be in the system at any one time?
