Question   The new accounts loan officer of the Millennium Commercial Bank interviews all customers for new accounts. The customers desiring to open new accounts arrive at the rate of 4 per hour, according to a Poisson distribution, and the accounts officer spends an average of 12 minutes with each customer, setting up a new account.   Required   1. Determine the operating characteristics (P0, L, Lq, W, Wq and Pw) for this system.       2. Add an additional accounts officer to the system described in this problem so that it is now a multiple-server queuing system with two channels and determine the operating characteristics required in part A.
Q.2) Partially completed products arrive at a workstation in a manufacturing operation at a mean rate of 40 per hour (Poisson distributed). The processing time at the workstation averages 1.2 minutes per unit (exponentially distributed). The manufacturing company estimates that each unit of in process inventory at the workstation costs $31 per day (on the average). However, the company can add extra employees and reduce the processing time to 0.90 minute per unit at a cost of $52 per day. Determine whether the company should continue the present operation or add extra employees.
Question 9 In Littlefield Labs, each order is processed at three stations before being completed and sent to customers. Suppose at the peak demand (i.e., after 180 days in the game) the flow rate is 10 orders per day. And the average inventory at station 1, station 2 and station 3 are 72, 65 and 70 kits, respectively (these include kits being processed as well as those in queues). What is the average lead time (in hours) o complete an order? Please specify your answer in at least 2 decimal points. (Remember 1 order has 60 kits, each day has 24 hours). Next
