1) - Small-Town Taxi Operates One Vehicle During The 9:00 A.M. To 5:00 P.M. Period

When 100 units have been processed in Work Centre 1, they are transferred to Work Centre 2. Example: 1000 units processing route Operation Work Centre Set-up Time Run Time/Unit 1 1 40 Minutes 2.4 mins/unit 2 2 20 Minutes 1.44 mins/unit Single shift of 8 hours per day on 5 days per week in Work Centre 1 and Work Centre 2. - Create Gantt Chart showing the earliest start and finish schedule for this order under a conventional scheduling approach when all 1000 units are processed together in one

1)- Small-town Taxi operates one vehicle during the 9:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. period.
Currently, consideration is being given to the addition of a second vehicle to the fleet. The
demand for taxis follows the distribution shown:

Time between Calls (Minutes)15 20 25 30 35

Probability 0.14 0.22 0.43 0.17 0.04

The distribution of time to complete a service is as follows:

Service Time (Minutes) 5 15 25 35 45

Probability 0.12 0.35 0.43 0.06 0.04

Each service trip is provided with a 5 minutes time allowance for fueling and other unexpected
delays. Simulate the operation for 5 days of operation of the current system and the system with an
additional taxicab. Compare the two system with respect to: waiting times of the customers, the
overall equipment utilization, and average time it takes to complete service for a customers

14. Mt. Washington Garage sells regular and unleaded gasoline. station 1 is a to pump self-
service unit. . Pump 2,a single pump, full-service station, is used by customers who are
willing to pay a higher cost per gallon to have an attendant pump the gas, check the oil,
and so on. Note that a pump can service one car at a time. Based on past data, the
owner of the garage estimates that 70 percent of the customers select the self-service
pumps and 30 percent want full service. The arrival rate of cars for each minute of
operation is given by the following probability distribution:

Number of Arrivals in 1 Minute of Operation Probability


0 .10
1 .20
2 .35
3 .30
4 .05

The time needed to service a car, which depends on whether the self-service or full-
service pump is used, is given by the following probability distribution:
Self-Service Pump Full-Service Pump

Service Time (min.) Probability Service Time(min.) Probability


4 .10 6 .20
6 .20 6 .30
8 .60 10 .35
10 .10 12 .1

Assuming that, the customers using the self-service pumps will be divided equally
between the two self-service pumps. Simulate the system for 8 hours and determine:
1)- The average number of cars waiting for service per minute at both types of pumps?
2)- The average time a car must wait for service?
3)- Determine the % utilization of each service station
4)- Determine the bottleneck operation. To eliminate excessive waiting, we may need to add one more
pump to the system. Which type of pump with minimize average waiting time
