Problem 15-25 (Algorithmic)
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. Suppose that Burger Dome analyzed data on customer arrivals and concluded that the arrival rate is 27 customers per hour and 1 customer processed per minute.
Compare a multiple-server waiting line system with a shared queue to a multiple-server waiting line system with a dedicated queue for each server. Suppose Burger Dome establishes two servers but arranges the restaurant layout so that an arriving customer must decide which server's queue to join. Assume that this system equally splits the customer arrivals so that each server sees half of the customers. How does this system compare with the two-server waiting line system with a shared queue? Compare the average number of customers waiting, average number of customers in the system, average waiting time, and average time in the system. If required, round your answers to four decimal places.

ANSWER:
Given that,
This is a single queue channel
The number of customers per hour is =27
1 customer processed per minute.
Mean number of arrivals per time period is
λ=27/60 = 0.45
the mean number of service time period
ρ=λ/µ = 0.45/1 = 0.45
a)
The number of customers waiting is =
Lq=λ2/ µ(µ-λ)
= 0.452/ 1(1-0.45)
=0.2025/0.55 =0.37
Lq=0.37
b)
Average number of customers in the system
Nc=Lq + λ/µ
=0.37 + 0.45/1
=0.37+0.45 = 0.82
Nc=0.82
c)
Average waiting time
AT= Lq / λ
=0.37/0.45
AT =0.82
d)
Average time in the system is
ATS = AT+ 1/µ
=0.82+ 1/1
=0.82+ 1
ATS = 1.82

The Burger Dome waiting line model studies the waiting time of customers at its fast-food restaurant. Burger Dome's single-server waiting line system has an arrival rate of 0.75 customers per minute and a service rate of 1 customer per minute. Adapt the Black Sheep Scarves spreadsheet shown below to simulate the operation of this waiting line. Make sure to use the random values for both interarrival and service times generated in the worksheet_12-23. Assuming that customer arrivals follow a Poisson...
Burger World is considering opening a drive-through window for customer service. Management estimates that customers will arrive at the rate of 15 per hour. The server who will staff the drive-up window can service customers at the rate of one every three minutes. Assuming Poisson arrivals and exponential service, find: 40. Utilization of the teller A) 45% B) 55% C) 65% D) None of the above 41. Average number of customers in the waiting line A) 2.25 B) 5.22 C)...
Problem 8: 10 points Consider a queuing system M/M/1 with one server. Customer arrivals form a Poisson process with the intensity A 15 per hour. Service times are exponentially distributed with the expectation3 minutes Assume that the number of customers at t-0, has the stationary distribution. 1. Find the average queue length, (L) 2. What is the expected waiting time, (W), for a customer? 3. Determine the expected number of customers that have completed their services within the 8-hour shift
**LOOKING FOR FORMULAS, ANSWERS PROVIDED. Problem-1: At a single-phase, multiple-channel service facility, customers arrive randomly. Statistical analysis of past data shows that the interarrival time has a mean of 20 minutes and a standard deviation of 4 minutes. The service time per customer has a mean of 15 minutes and a standard deviation of 5 minutes. The waiting cost is $200 per customer per hour. The server cost is $25 per server per hour. Assume general probability distribution and no...
Problem 1 REGIONAL AIRLINES Regional Airlines is establishing a new telephone system for handling flight reservations. During the 10:00 A.M. to 11:00 A.M. time period, calls to the reservation agent occur ran- domly at an average of one call every 3.75 minutes. Historical service time data show that a reservation agent spends an average of 3 minutes with each customer. The waiting line model assumptions of Poisson arrivals and exponential service times appear reasonable for the telephone reservation system. Regional...
