Customers arrive to a bank consisting of three tellers in parallel.

(a) If there is a single FIFO queue feeding all tellers, what is the required dimension (i.e., length) of the event list for a simulation model of this system?


(b) If each teller has his own FIFO queue and if a customer can jockey (i.e., jump) from one queue to another (see Sec. 2.6 for the jockeying rules), what is the required dimension of the event list? Assume that jockeying takes no time.


(c) Repeat part (b) if jockeying takes 3 seconds.

Assume in all three parts that no events are required to terminate the simulation.
