Customers arrive at a common queue at the coffee station with two identical coffee machines in a busy mall at the rate of 48 per hour, following Poisson distribution. Each customer mixes his or her specialty coffee taking 2 minutes on an average following an exponential process. What is the expected number of customers in the system at this coffee station?

6. Consider a queueing system having two servers and no queue. There are two types of customers. Type 1 customers arrive according to a Poisson process having rate ??, and will enter the system if either server is free. The service time of a type 1 customer is exponential with rate ??.

(4) In a shop there are two cashiers (A and B) with a single queue for them. Customers arrive at the queue as a Poisson process with rate λ, and wait for the first available cashier. If both cashiers are available, they pick one equally likely. Each cashier finishes with a customer after an exponential waiting time, with parameters µa and µb for cashier A and B, respectively. Assume that λ < µa+µb. (a) Formulate a Markov chain model with...

Customers arrive at a two-server system according to a Poisson process having rate λ = 5. An arrival finding server 1 free will begin service with that server. An arrival finding server 1 busy and server 2 free will enter service with server 2. An arrival finding both servers busy goes away. Once a customer is served by either server, he departs the system. The service times at server i are exponential with rates µi, where µ1 = 4, µ2...

Individual customers arrive at a coffee shop after it opens at 6 AM. The number of customers arriving by 7AM has a Poisson distribution with parameter λ = 10. 25% of the customers buy a single donut and coffee, and 75% just buy coffee. Each customer acts independently. Answer the following: a.What are the two random variables described above and what are their probability mass functions? b.What is the probability that exactly five customers arrive by 7AM? c.If 10 customers...

Customers arrive at bank according to a Poisson process with rate 20 customers per hour. The bank lobby has enough space for 10 customers. When the lobby is full, an arriving customers goes to another branch and is lost. The bank manager assigns one teller to customer service as long as the number of customers in the lobby is 3 or less. She assigns two tellers if the number is more than 3 but less than 8. Otherwise she assigns...

Case Study: Pantry Shop (modified) Customers arrive at the Pantry Shop store at a rate of 3 per minute and the Poisson distribution accurately defines this rate. A single cashier works at the store, and the average time to serve a customer is 15 seconds, and the exponential distribution may be used to describe the distribution of service times. What are λ and μ in this situation? Using Kendall notation, what type of queuing system is this? How many minutes...

(Operations Management) A residential construction company has opened a registration office. Customers arrive at the rate of 200 per hour (Poisson Distribution) and the cost of their waiting in the queue is estimated $100 per person per hour. The local convention bureau provides servers to register customers at the fee of $15 per person per hour. Registration process takes 1 minute (Exponential Distribution) and a single waiting line, with multiple servers is set up. a) Compute both the minimum and...

Customers arrive at a two server system at an exponential rate 10 customers per hour. However, customers will only enter the resturant for food if there are no more than three people (including the two currently being attended to). Suppose that the amount of time required to service is exponential with a mean of five minutes for each server. (a) Write its transition diagram and balance equations. (b) What proportion of customers enter the resturant? (c) What is the average...

A large bank branch employs 5 tellers to serve its customers. Customers arrive according to a Poisson process at a mean rate of 3 per minute. The transaction time between the teller and customer has an exponential distribution with a mean of 1 minute. The management has established the following guidelines for the satisfactory level of service to customers: The average number of customers waiting in line to begin service should not exceed 1. At least 95% of the time,...
