Exercise 1
A supermarket is trying to decide how many cash registers to
keep open. Suppose an average of 18 customers arrive each
hour, and the average checkout time for a customers is 4
minutes. Interarrival times and service times are exponential,
and the system may be modeled as an M/M/S/GD//0 queuing
system. It costs $20 per hour to operate a cash register, and a
cost of 25 cents is assessed for each minute the customer spends
in the cash register area. How many registers should the store
open?

The airport has three screening stations available, and the facility manager must decide how many to have open at any particular time. The service rate for processing passengers at each screening station is 3 passengers per minute. On Monday morning the arrival rate is 5.2 passengers per minute. Assume that processing times at each screening station follow an exponential distribution and that arrivals follow a Poisson distribution. When the security level is raised to high, the service rate for processing passengers is reduced to 2 passengers per minute at each screening station. Suppose the security level is raised to high on Monday morning. Note: Use P0 values from Table 11.4 to answer the questions below. The facility manager's goal is to limit the average number of passengers waiting in line to 10 or fewer. How…arrow_forward
