3. 180 people leave Disneyland every 5 minutes. On an average 7200 people are inside
Disneyland at any time. How long, on an average does a person spend in Disneyland?
200 minutes

go through each intermediate step. Consider steady state and assume heavy traffic
arrivals.

(b) Suppose that the process is flexible and you can reorder the sequence of
the steps (for instance, the order need not be A-B-C anymore, but each job
has to still go thru the 3 steps). Further, a re-ordering costs $300, but in the
long run, a decrease in cycle time saves you $100,000 per minute of
decrease. What is your recommendation and why?
nothing
5. What is the main the trade-off involved in selecting the number of periods in a simple
moving average forecast?

(II) A bank installs an ATM and observes that the customers arrive at a rate of 15 per
hour and the arrivals follow a Poisson distribution. The ATM has a fixed non random
service time of 3 minutes per customer. Assume steady state. (5 * 5 = 25 marks).
2. On a particular day, it so happens that 200 customers arrived between 12.00 noon
and 1.00pm. On that day, what is the probability that no customers will arrive
from 1.00 pm to 1.15 pm?
Exp(-15*15/60)
25%
4. Over time, the ATM machine becomes slower. If the ATM machine slows down
and requires 5 minutes per customer, what happens to the utilizatilion?
100%
5. When this ATM machine breaks down, the bank resorts to a teller system. The teller
takes 1 minute to serve half his customers and 5 minutes for the other half. Who is more
idle, the teller or the ATM?
25%

4. Suppose you are allowed to crash jobs by no more than 1 week each, develop a rational
schedule to lower the expected completion time to 12 weeks. (10 marks)

(IV) The annual demand for black pens is 1000 units. Every order incurs a fixed
amount of $5 per order. The annual holding cost of a pen is $1.25. The delivery lead time
is 5 days. The wholesale price of a pen is $12.5. (5 *5=25 marks)

5. What happens to the order quantity and the re-order point when
a. The fixed order cost increases by 10%?
Q increases.
