Suppose a workstation receives parts automatically from a conveyor. An accumulation line has been provided at the workstation and has a storage capacity for 5 parts (N=6). Parts arrive randomly at the switching junction for the workstation; if the accumulation line is full, parts are diverted to another workstation. Parts arrive at a Poisson rate of 1 per minute; service time at the workstation is exponentially distributed with a mean of 45 seconds.
a. What is the rate at which parts enter the system?
b. Find the average number of parts in the accumulation line.
c. Suppose the production manager desires that no more than 2% of the arriving packages be diverted, how long should the accumulation line be>

2. A cafeteria serving line has a single coffee urn from which customers serve themselves. Arrivals at the urn follow a Poisson distribution at the rate of three per minute. In serving themselves, customers take on average about 15 seconds with exponentially distributed serving times. a. How much time, on average, does it take before a customer can drink coffee? Prepare for VUT calculation a (avg. inter p (avg. arrival time) service time) m (number of...

A cafeteria serving line has a coffee urn from which customers serve themselves. Arrivals at the urn follow a Poisson distribution at the rate of 4.0 per minute. In serving themselves, customers take about 12 seconds, exponentially distributed. a. How many customers would you expect to see on the average at the coffee urn? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Average no of customers b. How long would you expect it to take...
