Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:The mean flow time and average tardiness are to be determined for problem 45 (a) assuming SPT sequence.
Concept Introduction:
Shortest processing time rule is used for the minimization of mean time flow of project and hence it is used to minimize the time of mean flow of process. In this jobs will be arranged in increasing order sequence of the processing time.
(b)
Interpretation:The mean flow time and average tardiness are to be determined for problem 45 (b) assuming SPT sequence.

The ending Work-in-Process Inventory consisted of 2,000 units which were 50% complete as to materials and 30% complete as to conversion costs. The Finishing Department uses first-in, first-out (FIFO) process costing.What are the equivalent units of production for the conversion costs during the period? 17,100. 14,500. 15,100. 16,500.arrow_forward

(10-10) A cafeteria serving line has a coffee urn (like a system) from whichcustomers serve them selves. Arrivals at the urn follow a Poisson distribution at therate of 3 per minute. In serving themselves, customers take about 15 seconds,exponentially distributed.(a) How many customers would you expect to see, on average, at the coffee urn?(b) How long would you expect it to take to get a cup of coffee?(c) What percentage of time is the urn being used?(d) What is the probability that 3 or more people are in the cafeteria?2. (10-9) The Heart Association plans to install a free blood pressure testing booth.Previous experience indicates that, on average, 10 persons per hour request a test.Assume arrivals are Poisson distributed from an infinite population. Blood pressuremeasurements can be made at a constant time of 5 minutes each.(a) What average number in line can be expected?(b) What…arrow_forwardChapter 5. (M/M/s/K Model). Leia is responsible for 12 computers in the IT offices in a small business called DataWish. Each computer runs on an average for 4 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 computer 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.
