Burger Dome sells hamburgers, cheeseburgers, french fries, soft drinks, and milk shakes, as well as a limited number of specialty items and dessert
selections. Although Burger Dome would like to serve each customer immediately, at times more customers arrive than can be handled by the Burger Dome
food service staff. Thus, customers wait in line to place and receive their orders.
Burger Dome analyzed data on customer arrivals and concluded that the arrival rate is 35 customers per hour. Burger Dome also studied the order-filling
process and found that a single employee can process an average of 47 customer orders per hour. Burger Dome is concerned that the methods currently
used to serve customers are resulting in excessive waiting times and a possible loss of sales. Management wants to conduct a waiting line study to help
determine the best approach to reduce waiting times and improve service.
Suppose Burger Dome establishes two servers but arranges the restaurant layout so that an…

- Speedy Swift is a package delivery service that serves the greater Atlanta, Georgia, metropolitan area. To maintain customer loyalty, one of Speedy Swift's performance objectives is on-time delivery. To monitor its performance, each delivery is measured on the following scale: early (package delivered before the promised time), on-time (package delivered within 15 minutes of the promised time), late (package delivered more than 15 minutes past the promised time), or lost (package never delivered). Speedy Swift's objective is to deliver 99% of all packages either early or on-time. Another objective is to never lose a package.

The evaluation plan included waiting room time as one key waiting time process measure. Waiting room time was defined as the time elapsed between requesting that the patient be seated in the waiting room and the time he or she was called to be placed in an exam room. Initially, the target was set of 25 minutes. After implementing an improvement framework and process, the quality improvement team collected data on a sample of 355 patients. In this sample, the mean wait time was 23.05 minutes, with a standard deviation of 16.83 minutes. If you test the null hypothesis at the 0.01 level of significance, Is there evidence that the population mean wait time is less than 25 minutes?arrow_forwardAn industrial/organizational psychologist wants to improve worker productivity for a client firm, but fırst he needs to gain a better understanding of the life of the typical white-collar professional. Fortunately, he has access to the 2008 Workplace Productivity Survey, commissioned by LexisNexis and prepared by WorldOne Research, which surveyed a sample of 650 white-collar professionals (250 legal professionals and 400 other professionals). One of the survey questions was, "During the average workday, how many hours do you spend attending meetings?" For the subsample of legal professionals (n = 250), the mean response was M = 2.0 hours, with a sample standard deviation of s = 5.1 hours. The estimated standard error is SM = 0.323. The psychologist can be 99% confident that the interval from 1.2 to includes the unknown population mean pu.arrow_forward

However, they are still concerned about service. Recently, a group of four carriers hired Brunner Marketing Research Inc. to survey passengers regarding their level of satisfaction with a recent flight. The survey included questions on ticketing, boarding, in-flight service, baggage handling, pilot communication, and so forth. Twenty-five questions offered a range of possible answers: excellent, good, fair, or poor. A response of excellent was given a score of 4, good a 3, fair a 2, and poor a 1. These responses were then totaled, so the total score was an indication of the satisfaction with the flight. The greater the score, the higher the level of satisfaction with the service. The highest possible score was 100. Brunner randomly selected and surveyed…arrow_forward

These signs typically do not provide information on distances. An article reported that in one investigation, six sites along interstate highways where service signs are posted were selected. For each site, crash data was obtained for a three-year period before distance information was added to the service signs and for a one-year period afterward. The number of crashes per year before and after the sign changes were as follows. Before: 14 29 62 123 64 62 After: 15 27 41 84 76 71 (a) The article included the statement "A paired t test was performed to determine whether there was any change in the mean number of crashes before and after the addition of distance information on the signs."

- assume that the facility has been operational for 6 months. The company was fully staffed on Day 1 but recently has seen an increase in turnover.

Youquality improvement team is located at a metropolitan hospital that serves a large population. The quality improvement team is conducting a study pertaining to readmissions, smoking and number of drugs administered to admitted patients with congestive heart failure (CHF). The team is interested in reducing the number of readmissions among patients discharged with a principal diagnosis of CHF. The team believes that the high admission rate is due to the difficulty that these patients have in controlling the number of drugs that they typically take. The team believes that by improving patient/family education regarding drug administration, the readmission rate could be reduced. Thus, they have developed the screen “CHF patients taking three or more drugs” to identify these patients before discharge. To evaluate the effectiveness of the measure, the team conducts a study on all CHF…arrow_forwardAn education services company that offers tutoring for children (as young as one year old and adults presents a graphic In their pamphlet.
