Trucks arrive at a loading dock in a Poisson manner at the rate of 3.5 per day.
Trucks arrive at a loading dock in a Poisson manner at the rate of 3.5 per day. The cost of waiting per truck per day is $320. A two-person crew that can load at a constant rate of four trucks per day costs $440 per day. Compute the total system cost for this operation.

Trucks arrive at the loading dock of a wholesale grocer at the rate of 1.2 per hour. A single crew consisting of two workers can load a truck in about 30 minutes. Crew members receive $10 per hour in wages and fringe benefits, and trucks and drivers reflect an hourly cost of $60. The manager is thinking of adding another member to the crew. The service rate would then be 2.4 trucks per hour. Assume rates are Poisson. a. Would...

The Europa Company has a large warehouse in Florida to store its inventory of goods until they are needed by the company’s many furniture stores in that area. A single crew with four members is used to unload and/or load each truck that arrives at the loading dock of the warehouse. Management currently is downsizing to cut costs, so a decision needs to be made about the future size of this crew. Trucks arrive randomly at the loading dock at...

the pre 5.22, The Seaboard Shipping Company has a warehouse terminal in ta Spartanburg, South Carolina. The capacity of each terminal dock is three trucks. As trucks enter the terminal, the drivers receive num- bers, and when one of the three dock spaces becomes available, the truck with the lowest number enters the vacant dock. Truck arrivals are Poisson distributed, and the unloading and loading times (service th of d times) are exponentially distributed. The average arrival rate at the...

Consider a system with Poisson distributed arrival rate with average of 10 clients per day. The service time is exponentially distributed with 8 clients per day. If the cost for operating each server is $20 per day and the cost of holding a client in the system is $200 per day. What is the total cost of operating with 5 servers?

Star Car Wash estimates that dirty cars arrive at the rate of 15 per hour all day and at the wash line, the cars can be cleaned at the rate of one every 4 minutes. One car at a time is cleaned in this example of a single-channel waiting line. Assuming Poisson arrivals and exponential service times, find the: (a) average time a car spends in the service system. (b) average number of cars in line. (c) average time a...
