Deavyanne Johnston, the engineering manager at TZO Chemicals, wants to complete an alternative evaluation study. She asked the finance manager for the corporate MARR.

Scenario E.1 SimQuick is being used to simulate the following bank process: Entrance Door Buffer Line Work Station Teller Buffer Served Customers Customer arrivals at the Entrance Door of the bank with an average time between arrivals of 2.5 minutes. The Line Buffer holds 6 customers. If a customer arrives and the buffer line is filled, the customer leaves. The Work Station Teller's processing time per customer is normally distributed, with a mean of 3.0 minutes and a standard deviation of 0.5 minutes. The Served Customer Buffer in the flow chart is used to count the number of customers processed during the period simulated. A 2-hour period was simulated. The SimQuick simulation is run, and the results are as follows: Overall Element Types Element Names Statistics Means Entrance Door Objects entering process 41.80 Objects unable to enter 6.23 Service level 0.87 Buffer Line Objects leaving 37.83 Final inventory 3.98 Minimum inventory 0.00 Maximum inventory 5.85 Mean inventory 3.08 Mean…
