Question 1 Posh Nails Katie Posh runs an upscale nail salon. The service process includes five activities that are conducted in the sequence described below. (The time required for each activity is shown in parentheses): Activity 1: Welcome a guest. (1 minute) Activity 2: Clip and file nails. (3 minutes) Activity 3: Paint. (5 minutes) Activity 4: Dry. (10 minutes) Activity 5: Check out the customer. (4 minutes) Three servers (S1, S2, and S3) offer the services in a worker-paced line. The assignment of tasks to servers is the following: S1 does Activity 1. S2 does Activities 2 and 3. S3 does Activities 4 and 5. The drying process does not require server 3’s constant attention; she/he needs to only escort the customer to the salon’s drying chair (equipped with fans for drying). The time to do this is negligible. There exists only one drying chair in the salon. Which resource is the bottleneck of the process?

Statement of the ProblemKuala Lumpur Hospital, as we all know, is one of Malaysia's busiest hospitals. This is due to the fact that it admits a diverse range of patients suffering from a diverse range of disorders. These patients have arrived as a result of the health sector that operates in this facility. In other words, the departments within it are quite diverse. As a result, the hospital must deal with a high volume of both existing and new patients. Employees are required to gather patient personal information such as name, address, and so on for all of these admissions. It intends to capture and save their data for further use. Employee admissions, such as physicians and nurses, should also be recorded by the hospital. Furthermore, the hospital must manually record the many departments, rooms, and physicians in hospitals. It is also required to keep frequent records of patients, patients admitted to the hospital, doctor exams on patients, patients who have had surgery, and…
Question: The system provides some useful insights regarding the sales order. Different departments use this information. For instance, the production process uses this information to forecast the expected sale for next month. The production clerk uses this to create an online production schedule. From this schedule, the system automatically prepares weekly online work orders to be used by the production department. The production supervisor assesses the work orders from his terminal and prepares the necessary paper based move tickets and materials requisitions. Then, the move tickets and two copies of the materials requisitions are distributed to each work centre. Later, work center employees submit the two copies of the materials requisitions to the warehouse in exchange for materials and sub-assemblies. If additional new materials are needed beyond the standard quantity, the supervisor issues additional materials requisitions. Work centre employees record their work hours on…
Problem Statement: Hotel Booking System You are working in a team which is developing a web application related to online room(s) booking in a chain of hotels. This would facilitate our existing customers, as well as potential new customers, in booking rooms and itinerary prior to their arrival. This would not only enable them to be more comfortable (because they would know that hotel room of their choice is already booked) but also increase the chances of maximizing hotel room bookings and minimizing the load on front desk receptions of our hotels. It would require the customers to get registered by simply providing some basic information of themselves like First Name (any string of 10 alphabets), Last Name (any string of 10 alphabets), Passport Number (any alphanumeric string of 8 chars) and Age (age must be 18 or above). During the room-booking process, the user is required to select the room type via dropdown i.e. Single (1-2), Double (2-3), Quad (4-6). Then user can search…

Short question 4- Leo manages a receiving station for rice. Farmers deliver their loads of rice with a rate of 150 tons per hour from 6:00 am to 2:00 pm. Leo can process them at a rate of 100 tons an hour. The station has room to hold only 200 tons of rice in inventory prior to processing. Once this space is filled, the farmers’ trucks must wait to dump their contents. Leo is considering using seasonal workers to help him with the processing of rice loads. When the seasonal workers are working, the processing rate increases to 125 tons per hour. The seasonal workers would start working at 10:00 am and finish working when the trucks stop waiting. At what time, Leo will finish processing loads of rice using these seasonal workers?

Employees Layoffs at the University Medical Center The University Medical Center is medium-sized, 300-bed capacity hospital at Dasmarinas Cavites. The facilities have grown gradually over the years and are now the 2nd largest in the town of Dasmarinas. It is entirely nonunion and has never experienced an employee layoff since its inception. Sister Veronica Cornista, the Chief Executive Officer of the hospital for 8 years presented a rather bleak financial of the BOD. This according to her is the result of the declining occupancy rate which has affected the hospital’s revenues to such an extent that it ran a deficit for the first time last 1998. Such declines have not been unusual for this industry because of increasing competition. So far, the only response to these changes has been tightening of requirements for equipment or supply purchases. The projected deficit for the coming year is around 1,300,000 unless some additional revenues were identified or some additional savings…
