On average, 100 customers arrive per hour at the Gotham City Bank. The average service time for each customer is one minute. Service times and interarrival times are exponentially distributed. The manager wants to ensure that no more than 1% of all customers will have to wait in line for more than five minutes. If the bank follows the policy of having all customers join a single line, how many tellers must the bank hire? 3 What is the corresponding percentage of customers waiting in line. If needed, round your answer to a whole percentage.

- An average of 100 customers arrive each hour at theGotham City Bank. The average service time for eachcustomer is 1 minute. Service times and interarrival timesare exponential. The manager wants to ensure that no morethan 1% of all customers will have to wait in line for morethan 5 minutes. If the bank follows the policy of having allcustomers join a single line, how many tellers must the bankhire?An emergency room (ER) at a Prisma Health Hospital has 10 total beds it can hold patients, i.e., the capacity of the queueing system of this ER is 10. Patients arrive to the ER at a rate of 5 per hour. Therefore, we have that λn = 6 for n = 0, 1, . . . , 9 and λ10 = 0 for this queueing system. A patient is seen by an ER doctor as the ‘service’ of this queueing system. The amount of time required for an ER doctor to treat a patient is exponentially distributed with a mean of .4 hours. We seek the minimum number of ER doctors so that the expected time of a patient waiting to be seen (so the Wq) is less than or equal to 15 minutes (.25 hours). You should begin by analyzing s = 1 and show any calculations that were used to determine Wq for each number of servers that you considered until you meet the target metric.The QRS Trucking Services, has one warehouse servicing its 4 clients within the area. The warehouse hasonly one loading harbor with 3 service crews. The manager has observed that there are certain timeswherein their delivery vans are waiting in the harbor to be loaded. Also, there are instances whereintheir three service crews are idle. Thinking about the situation of their business , the manager noticedthat it follows the Single-Channel Queueing Model.Analyzing the record book, he noticed that the customers’ arrival rate is 3 delivery vans per hour, and onthe average service rate is 5 delivery vans per hour. What advise can you give to the manager about theimplication of adding another service crew, or even two or more crews to increase and improve theservice rate of his loading harbor?If the manager adds one or more service crew(s), the loading harbor can still be considered as a single-channel system, because only one delivery truck ( the customer) can be served at any one time.…
- CPU-on-Demand (CPUD) offers real-time high-performance computing services. CPUD owns 1 supercomputer that can be accessed through the Internet. Their customers send jobs that arrive, on average, every 4 hours. The standard deviation of the interarrival times is 4 hours. Executing each job takes, on average, 3 hours on the supercomputer and the standard deviation of the processing time is 3.6 hours. On average, how long will it take to complete a job (from the time it is submitted by the customer until the time it is completed)?CPU-on-Demand (CPUD) offers real-time high-performance computing services. CPUD owns 1 supercomputer that can be accessed through the Internet. Their customers send jobs that arrive, on average, every 5 hours. The standard deviation of the interarrival times is 5 hours. Executing each job takes on average 3 hours on the supercomputer and the standard deviation of the processing time is 4.5 hours. How long does a customer have to wait to have a job completed?The Decision Sciences Department is tyring to determine whether to rent a slow or fast copier. The department believes that an employee's time is worth $15/hour. The slow copier rents for $4/hr, and it takes an employee an average of 10 minutes to complete copying. The fast copier rents for $15/hr, and it takes an employee an average of 6 minutes to complete copying. On average, four employees per hour need to use the copying machine. (Assume the copying times and interarrival times to the copying machine are exponentially distributed.) Which machine should the department rent to minimize expected total cost per hour? Please note this class revolves around Microsoft Excel so the answer I need needs to show the formulas in Excel, along with any corresponding graphs, etc. Thank you in advance!
- The manager of a bank wants to use an MyMys queueingmodel to weigh the costs of extra tellers against the costof having customers wait in line. The arrival rate is 60customers per hour, and the average service time is fourminutes. The cost of each teller is easy to gauge at the$11.50 per hour wage rate. However, because estimatingthe cost per minute of waiting time is difficult, the bankmanager decides to hire the minimum number of tellersso that a typical customer has probability 0.05 of waitingmore than five minutes in line.a. How many tellers will the manager use, given thiscriterion?b. By deciding on this many tellers as “optimal,” themanager is implicitly using some value (or some range of values) for the cost per minute of wait-ing time. That is, a certain cost (or cost range) would lead to the same number of tellers as sug-gested in part a. What is this implied cost (or cost range)?PepsiCo sells its soft drinks in approximately 400,000 retail establishments, such as supermarkets, discount stores, and convenience stores. Sales representatives call on each retail account weekly, which means each account is called on by a sales rep 52 times per year. The average length of a sales call is 75 minutes (or 1.25 hours). An average salesperson works 2,000 hours per year (50 weeks per year * 40 hours perweek), but each spends 10 hours a week on nonselling activities, such as administrative tasks and travel. How many salespeople does PepsiCo need?. For the MyMy1 queueing model, why do the following results hold? (Hint: Remember that 1ym is the meanservice time. Then think how long a typical arrival must wait in the system or in the queue.) a. W 5 (L 1 1)ym b. WQ 5 Lym
- In queueing theory, λ represents the mean arrival rate; for example, the number of peoplearriving at the service counter per hour. What does 1/λ represent?o Service rateo Interarrival timeo Service time NoneA supermarket has just added a new cash register to reduce the waiting times of the customers during weekends. Since a new cash register is added, the customers expect that their waiting time will be less than the waiting time before the cash register was added. Suppose the sample variance of the waiting times for 25 customers before adding the new cash register is sĩ = 4.8 minutes, while the sample variance of the waiting times for 25 customers after adding the cash register is sź = 2.2 minutes. The manager of the supermarket believes that the waiting times are normally distributed and that the two samples are drawn independently. What is the conclusion? Given that all other criteria are satisfied, should the supermarket continue with the new cash register?A manufacturing cell has 4 operators (working independently in parallel) and a shared buffer space that can fit at most 6 incoming jobs. During a production period, jobs arrive to the cell with rate of 10 jobs per hour (Poisson arrival, i.e., exponential inter-arrival time). The average processing time of a job is 30 minutes (exponentially distributed service time). Answer the following questions using the analytical formulas learned in class. (a) Which queueing model should be used to model this problem? (b) What is the long-term average waiting time of a job in the buffer? (c) What is the probability that an arriving job cannot be admitted into the cell due to full occupancy? (d) If the desired the rejection probability is no more than 10% in this case, what would you suggest? Use calculations to justify your answer.
