A public transport corporation has hired 2000 buses for the different routes for the passengers of metropolitan city. In order to fill vacancies, it advertised in the newspaper and number of applicants applied for the same. The company has to now undertake the process of selection to identify and select the best. Explain the steps involved in this process.

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.

QUESTIONS: 1. A refiner in city Q serves four customers near city W and maintains consignment inventory (owned by the refiner) at each location. Currently, the refiner uses TL (truckload) transportation to deliver separately to each customer. Each truck costs $(759) plus $(309) per stop. The refiner is considering aggregating deliveries to city W on a single truck. The demand of the first customer is 75 tons a year, the demand of the second customer is 30 tons per year, and the demand of the third and fourth customers is 10 tons per year. The product cost is $8,000 per ton, and it uses a holding cost of (24)%. The truck capacity is 20 tons. a. What is the optimal delivery policy to each customer if the refiner ships separately to each of them? What is the annual total inventory-related cost? b. What is the optimal delivery policy to each customer if the refiner aggregates shipments to each of the four customers on every truck that goes to city W? What is the annual total…

Q2. In Aegis life insurance company, the deposit and withdrawal functions associated with cer- tain investment product are separated by two clerks, Stack and Slack. Deposit slips arrive at Stack’s desk according to a Poisson process with a mean rate of 16 per hour. Withdrawal slips arrive at Slack’s desk according to a Poisson process with a mean rate of 14 per hour. The time required to process either transaction has an exponential distribution with a mean of 3 minutes. Based on this information, answer the following questions: (a) In the current situation, what model will you apply for analysis of queuing system at Stack’s desk and Slack’s desk? Answer this question by filling the following table. Model λ µ ρ Reaches steady state? Stack's Desk - - - - - Slack's Desk - - - - - (b) What is the expected waiting time of a deposit slip at Stack’s desk? What is the expected waiting time of a withdrawal slip at Slack’s desk? Suppose “the system” contains both Stack and…
Problem 7-09 (Algorithmic) Hawkins Manufacturing Company produces connecting rods for 4- and 6-cylinder automobile engines using the same production line. The cost required to set up the production line to produce the 4-cylinder connecting rods is $1,400, and the cost required to set up the production line for the 6-cylinder connecting rods is $3,100. Manufacturing costs are $15 for each 4-cylinder connecting rod and $18 for each 6-cylinder connecting rod. Hawkins makes a decision at the end of each week as to which product will be manufactured the following week. If a production changeover is necessary from one week to the next, the weekend is used to reconfigure the production line. Once the line has been set up, the weekly production capacities are 6,500 6-cylinder connecting rods and 8,200 4-cylinder connecting rods. Let X4 = the number of 4-cylinder connecting rods produced next week X6 = the number of 6-cylinder connecting rods produced next week S4= 1 if the production line is…

Problem 13-21 (Algorithmic) A real estate investor has the opportunity to purchase land currently zoned residential. If the county board approves a request to rezone the property as commercial within the next year, the investor will be able to lease the land to a large discount firm that wants to open a new store on the property. However, if the zoning change is not approved, the investor will have to sell the property at a loss. Profits (in thousands of dollars) are shown in the following payoff table: State of Nature Rezoning Approved Rezoning Not Approved Decision Alternative S1 S2 Purchase, d1 630 -220 Do not purchase, d2 0 0 a. If the probability that the rezoning will be approved is 0.5, what decision is recommended?Recommended decision = PURCHASE What is the expected…
7. The manager of a regional warehouse must decide on the number of loading docks to request fora new facility in order to minimize the sum of dock costs and driver-truck costs. The manager haslearned that each driver-truck combination represents a cost of $300 per day and that each dockplus loading crew represents a cost of $1,100 per day.a. How many docks should be requested if trucks arrive at the rate of three per day, each dockcan handle five trucks per day, and both rates are Poisson?b. An employee has proposed adding new equipment that would speed up the loading rate to 6trucks per day. The equipment would cost $100 per day for each dock. Should the managerinvest in the new equipment?
