Dean Smith is dissatisfied with the time it takes to get a new faculty ID made and believes more servers will speed up service and reduce costs thanks to shorter lines. Prof. Karen is tasked to study the situation. Prof. Karen observes an average of 20 customers/hr arriving and each technician (service window) services 5 customers/hr, on average. Assume an M/M/s queue system.
Prof. Karen calculates the operational cost of each server as $20/hr, and assumes a cost of waiting in the SYSTEM as $25/hr per customer.
What is the optimal number of service windows to minimize total cost?
A student arrive in a photocopy service. There is only one photocopy operator, and the time required for inquiry varies from student to student. The average arrival rate is 12 students per hour, and the average service rate is 20 students per hour. What is the average service time for this problem?
Dr. Maureen Becker, the head administrator at Jefferson County Regional Hospital, must determine a schedule for nurses to make sure there are enough of them on duty throughout the day. During the day, the demand for nurses varies. Maureen has broken the day into twelve 2-hour periods. The slowest time of the day encompasses the three periods from 12:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m., which, beginning at midnight, require a minimum of 30, 20, and 40 nurses, respectively. The demand for nurses steadily increases during the next four daytime periods. Beginning with the 6:00 a.m.–8:00 a.m. period, a minimum of 50, 60, 80, and 80 nurses are required for these four periods, respectively. After 2:00 p.m. the demand for nurses decreases during the afternoon and evening hours. For the five 2-hour periods beginning at 2:00 p.m. and ending at midnight, 70, 70, 60, 50, and 50 nurses are required, respectively. A nurse reports for duty at the beginning of one of the 2-hour periods and works 8 consecutive hours…
