Thankyou.arrow_forwardExplain how waiting lines can develop even when the service time is a constant.arrow_forwardIn a queueing system, customers arrive once every 3 hours (standard deviation = 4) and services take 2 hours (standard devlation = 6.2).

- In a queueing system, customers arrive once every 3 hours (standard devlation = 4) and services take 2 hours (standard deviation = 6.2). (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to three decimal places.) What is the average number of customers in the system? customersarrow_forwardTrue or False? In a waiting line system, the average system time Wₛ must be longer than the average waiting time Wqarrow_forward1. The DMV Licensing office has a single line for customers waiting for the next available clerk. There are two clerks who work at the same rate. On average customers arrive every 8 minutes and the average service rate is 5 per hour for each of the two clerks. The arrival rate of customers follows a Poisson distribution, while the service time follows an exponential distribution. a.) What is the service rate? (please include units) b.) What is the arrival rate? (please include units)arrow_forward
- Consider two identical queuing systems except for the service time distribution. In the first system the service time is random and Poisson distributed. The service time is constant in the second system. How would the waiting time differ in the two systems?arrow_forwardIn improving services to consumers, Limited Company Prima conducted a study of the queue time spent by consumers during the payment process with one available payment service.The average arrival of consumers in 1 hour is 8 consumers, while every hour the number of customers who can be served is 10 consumers. Count: a. The average length of time the customer is in the storeb. Average number of consumers who are being servedc. If the waiter fee is 500 and the subscription fee is waiting for 100, calculate the hourly amountarrow_forwardPlease do not give solution in image format thanku Average Arrival Rate (Ri) 20 Customers/Hr Arrival Standard Deviation is 2 customers/hr Average Processing Time 12 minutes Process Time Standard Deviation 3 minutes 5 Servers 1) What is Server Utilization? 2) Average Queue Length?arrow_forward
- Consider a Poisson queue with random arrivals at the rate of 12 customers per hour and the following steady- state probabilities: po = 1/3, p1 = 1/2, p2 = 1/6, and p, = 0 for n = 3,4,5, ... . What is the mean (or effective) arrival rate in customers per hour for this queuing system? Consider drawing a rate diagram to assist in your solution. O 10 12 O none of the other choices O 2arrow_forwardA firm is engaged in both shipping and receiving activities. The management is always interested in improving the efficiency of new innovations in loading and unloading procedures. The arrival distribution of trucks is found to be Poisson with arrival rate of 3 trucks per The service time distribution is exponential with unloading rate of 4 trucks per hour. Determine (i) expected number of trucks in the queue, hour. (ii) expected waiting time of the truck in the queue, (iii) probability that the loading and unloading dock and workers will be idle, (iv) what reductions in waiting time are possible if loading and unloading is standardised?arrow_forward
