Concept explainers
A
Interpretation: J’s utilization according to queuing method is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Queuing method is the best practice for enhancing the service provided within an organization by utilizing its resources.
B
Interpretation: The average number of machines repaired or waiting to be repaired are to be calculated.
Concept Introduction:
The waiting line model is used to calculate the performance. The probability in a waiting line requires waiting for the service.
C
Interpretation: The average time of a machine that is out of service is to be calculated.
Concept Introduction:
The waiting line is the time delay to reach the station and it improves the service channel. For completion of the activity, an object spends time waiting in line.

- A copier is able to operate for an average of 200 hours between repairs, and the mean repair time is two hours. Determine the availability of the copier.arrow_forwardA server operates with 90 % utilization. Coefficient of variation of service process is 0.6. Coefficient of variation of arrival process is 0.8. Average processing time is 4 minutes. What is the average time a customer spends in the system using the single server queuing model ? Show all formulas used, calculations and results.arrow_forwardCustomer interarrival times at a store are exponentially distributed with rate 8 customers per hour. Customers are served by a single customer service representative (CSR), at a rate of 10 customers per hour. Service times are also exponentially distributed. Which of the following statements are true? O The probability of having exactly three customers in the store is 0.128. O None of the answers are correct. The store has customers waiting for a CSR 80.0% of the time. The average number of customers in the store is 3.2. O The average wait time for the CSR is 24 minutes.arrow_forward

If the service process is automated (resulting in no variation in service times but the same service rate), what will be the resulting performance measurements? What is the utilization? What is the expected number of customers in the system (L)? What is the expected waiting time (in hours) for the system (W)? What is the expected number of customers in the queue (Lq)? What is the expected waiting time (in hours) in the queue (Wq)?arrow_forwardA local fast food restaurant wants to analyze its drive-thru window. At this time, the only information known is the average number of customers in the system (4.00) and the average time a customer spends at the restaurant (1.176 minutes). What is the arrival rate (λ) and the service rate (μ)? Group of answer choices Arrival rate = 4.25 customers/min. Service rate = 3.4 customers/min. Arrival rate = .29 customers/min. Service rate = .24 customers/min. Arrival rate = 3.4 customers/min. Service rate = 4.25 customers/min. Arrival rate = .24 customers/min. Service rate = .29 customers/min.

The average number in the system Ls is ________ and the utilization of the system is ________.arrow_forwardFor the first four minutes of the day, the arrival rate at the gas station is 50 vehicles per minute. The gas station is capable of serving- 44 vehicles per minute. Assume that the system is empty at the start and that no vehicle who arrives leaves without being served.
