Question 5The management of CDC Construction Pioneers have decided to build 900 new apartments in the Kasoa area due to the influx of immigrant workers into the country. Two Architectural Companies have provided building plans and technical schematics for the project. Management are happy with the proposals of both Standard apartment and Deluxe apartment. After investigating the steps involved in construction, management determined that each apartment complex built will require some resources. Management analysed each of the bids and concluded that if the plans of Standard apartment are built, it requires 0.7 days in foundation works, 0.5 days in the masonry, 1 day in finishing, and 0.1 days in painting works. Deluxe apartment will require 1 day in foundation works, 0.83 days in the masonry, 0.67 days in finishing, and 0.25 days in the painting works. Management estimate that, 630 days for foundation works, 600 days for masonry, 708 days for finishing and 135 days for 11painting works…

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).

If the present model is T1, the next computer may be T2 with probability 0.2 or T3 with probability 0.15. If the present model is T2, the probabilities of switching to T1 and T3 are 0.6 and 0.25 respectively. And if present model is T3 then, the probabilities of switching to T1 and T2 are 0.5 and 0.1 respectively.       Represent the situation as a Markov chain.arrow_forward
