Question 3 [Soalan 31 Jeruk Pak Abu's Store in Butterworth, Pulau Pinang, maintains a successful catalog sales department in which a clerk takes orders by telephone. If the clerk is occupied on one line, incoming phone calls to the catalog department are answered automatically by a recording machine and asked to wait. As soon as the clerk is free, the party who has waited the longest is transferred and serviced first. Calls come in at a rate of about 12 per hour. The clerk can take an order in an average of 4 minutes. Calls tend to follow a Poisson distribution, and service times tend to be negative exponential. The cost of the clerk is RM10 per hour, but because of lost good -will and sales, Jeruk Pak Abu's Store loses about RM25 per hour of customer time spent waiting for the clerk to take an order.

During the 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM time period, calls to the reservation agent occur randomly at an average rate of one call every 3.75 minutes. Historical service time data show that a reservation agent spends an average of 3 minutes with each customer. The waiting line model assumptions of Poisson arrivals and exponential service times appear reasonable for the telephone reservation system. At a planning meeting, Regional's management team agreed that an acceptable customer service goal is to answer at least 75% of the incoming calls immediately. During the planning meeting, Regional's vice president of administration pointed out that the data show that the average service rate for an agent is faster than the average arrival rate of the telephone calls. The vice president's conclusion was that personnel costs could be minimized by using one agent and that single agent must be able to…
