Chapter 5. (M/M/s/K Model). Leia is responsible for 13 data units in the IT offices in a small business called DataWish. Each data unit runs on an average for 3 weeks and requires an average of ½ or 0.5 weeks to get reset by Leia before it can start up again. If we assign the Poisson distribution to the “arrival” of each data unit for service and an exponential distribution to the actual service provided, answer the following questions: a. The arrival rate would be units per week and the service rate would be units per week. b. Calculate the following operating characteristics for the M/M/s/K system: Utilization Factor (ρ) % Performance Measures P0 (probability that sytem is empty) % L (average units in system) units Lq (average units waiting in queue) units W (average time in the system) weeks Wq (average time in the queue) weeks c. If we assign a cost of waiting as $400 per week per data unit and $800 per…
The medical director of a large emergency clinic faces a problem of providing treatment for patients who arrive at different rates during the day. There are several doctors available to treat patients when needed. If not needed, they can be assigned to other responsibilities (for example, lab tests, reports, x-ray diagnoses) or else rescheduled to work at other hours. It is important to provide quick and responsive treatment, and the medical director feels that, on the average, patients should not have to sit in the waiting area for more than 20 minutes before being seen by a doctor. Patients are treated on a first-come, first-served basis and see the first available doctor after waiting in the queue. The arrival pattern for a typical day is: These arrivals follow a Poisson distribution. The treatment time is 24 minutes on the average with an exponential distribution. Consider the service cost (by doctors) to be $130 per hour. For each patient, the waiting cost when waiting for service…
The use of information technology in a company creates efficiency, effectiveness and competitive advantages. Every business generally uses information systems to facilitate the process of business activities and to shorten business processes. Companies who want growth are required to innovate both in terms of quantity and quality of information systems. Operational managers need a system that tracks basic activities and organisational transactions, such as sales, receipts, cash deposits, payroll, credit decisions, and flow materials at the factory. Transaction processing systems (TPS) provide such information. Middle level managers require a system to assist in monitoring, control, decision making, and administrative activities. Corporate applications help businesses become more flexible and productive by coordinating business processes more closely. There are four main enterprise applications: enterprise systems, supply chain management (SCM) systems, customer relationship management…

Terex Corporation is a global manufacturer of aerial work platforms and materials processingmachinery. They design, build and support products such as large lifting equipment used inconstruction. The company makes most pieces to order and customizes them to meet customers’unique preferences.Terex maintained a manual system for yard management at their transfer centre in Washingtonthat is always full of lifting equipment, which generated excessive costs for what should have beena relatively simple process of locating customers’ units to prepare them for delivery. A wallboardand sticker system was a low-tech solution for identifying equipment items in the yard at Terex.While inexpensive in itself, the solution cost around six minutes every time an employee had tolocate a unit in the yard. It also required a considerable number of hours to be spent each monthtaking physical inventories. After a successful pilot, the company approved a new solution, replacingstickers, yard maps, and…
Consider the classroom CS 206. There are a variety of groups that want to use this room - CS club, CTF club, tutors, faculty, etc. Consider a set of of requests to use the room at a specific time, for a specific interval of whole hours. For example, 3/2/22 11pm-3pm, 3/2/22 9am-12pm, and so on. Some of these requests are split into multiple chunks, for example the faculty might want to use the room from 10am-11am and from 1pm-2pm, and this is considered a single request. We want to maximize the number of requests that we can fit in. Define the 206 request problem as this: determine if there exists a way to schedule room 206 that fits k or more requests, with no overlaps. Show that the independent set problem is polynomial-time reducible to the 206 request problem, and therefore the 206 room request problem is at least as hard as independent set, making it NP-complete.

Please do not give solution in image formate thanku. Birdie Masters is a successful chain of golf schools located in the southwestern United States. The company has been developing a new system that will automate all of the school’s operations and is about ready to begin the installation of the new system. Currently, the school locations are being run with a rather jumbled combination of manual and automated record keeping, and the intent of this new system is to rationalize and standardize the record keeping and improve reporting and analysis capabilities. The system also has a web-based component that is used by school students to check on classes, enroll in classes and lessons, and monitor progress. Because the winter golf season is approaching, activity at the golf schools is expected to increase soon, and management would like to have the new system in place. Discuss the conversion options that Birdie Masters should consider. What is your recommended conversion strategy? Explain…
