Question 2
A fast-food franchise is considering operating a drive-up window food-service operation. Assume that customer arrivals follow a Poisson probability distribution, with an arrival rate of 24 cars per hour, and that service times follow an exponential probability distribution. Arriving customers place orders at an intercom station at the back of the parking lot and then drive to the service window to pay for and receive their orders. The following three service alternatives are being considered:
Answer the following questions and recommend an alternative design for the fast-food franchise:
The following cost information is available for the fast-food franchise above:
What is the lowest-cost design for the fast-food business?

1) A fast-food franchise is considering opening a drive-up window food service operation. Assume that customer arrivals follow a Poisson distribution ( interarrival times follow an exponential distribution), with a mean arrival rate of 24 cars per hour, and that service times follow an exponential probability distribution. Arriving customers place orders at an intercom station at the back of the parking lot and then drive up to the service window to pay for and receive their order. The following four...

You are the manager of a restaurant for a fast-food franchise. Last month, the mean waiting time at the drive-through window for branches in your geographical region, as measured from the time a customer places an order until the time the customer receives the order, was 3.8 minutes. You select a random sample of 81 orders. The sample mean waiting time is 3.63 minutes, with a sample standard deviation of 0.9 minute. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. fast-food franchise....
Burrito King (a new fast-food franchise opening up nationwide) has successfully automated burrito production for its drive-up fast-food establishments. The Burro-Master 9000 requires a constant 50 seconds to produce a batch of burritos. It has been estimated that customers will arrive at the drive-up window according to a Poisson distribution at an average of one every 75 seconds. To help determine the amount of space needed for the line at the drive-up window, answer the following questions. a. What is...
7. The Canara Bank drive-thru teller window can serve a customer at an average of 4 minutes per customer. Service time has a negative exponential distribution. Customers arrive in their cars at a rate (Poisson distributed) of 12 per hour and form a single waiting line: a.
