A group of k students arrive at a restaurant. They sit down around circular tables, leaving no table empty. Then each table orders one of r possible appetizers to share. What is the number of ways this can happen? Two seating arrangements are considered the same if each person has the same left neighbor in both of them. Consider different cases for number of tables.

1) An operator is used for loading and unloading of parts to automated machines. Loading time is 1 minute; unloading time is 2 minutes, machining time is 30 minutes, Operator travel time between the machines including the inspection time is 4 minutes. Cost of operator is C₁=40 TL/Hour, cost of a machine is C₂-200 TL/Hour. What is the cost per unit of production if optimum number of machines is assigned to the operator? (Note: Times are given in minutes and costs are per hour) a) 231 TL/unit b) 6930 TL/unit c) 115.5 TL/unit d) 240 TL/unit e) 132 TL/unit 2) An operator is used for loading and unloading of parts to automated machines.

.A team of 10 unloaders is employed in good reception bay of a large warehouse. During an 8 hour day 40 lorries arrive and it takes the team 10 minutes to unload each lorry. Each team member is paid RM3 per hour and it costs RM10 per hour to keep lorries waiting. Studies show that increasing the team to 14 men would reduce the unloading time to 7 minutes. Would it be worthwhile increasing the team to 14?
A Company that makes shopping carts for supermarkets and other stores recently purchased some new equipment that reduces the labor content of the jobs needed to produce the shopping carts. Prior to buying the new equipment, the company used 4 workers, who produced an average of 87 carts per hour. Workers receive $13 per hour, and machine coast was $32 per hour. With the new equipment, it was possible to transfer one of the workers to another department, and equipment cost increased by $18 per hour while output increased by four carts per hour.a) Compute the multifactor productivity (MFP) (labor plus equipment) under the Prior to buying the new equipment. The MFP (carts/$) = ( ) (round to 4 decimal places).b) Compute the % growth in productivity between the Prior to and after buying the new equipment. The growth in productivity = ( ) % (round to 2 decimal places)

Consider the problem of assigning multiple jdentical machines to an individual operator for the following situations: the loading and unloading time is 5 minutes, the independent operator activity time is 2 minutes, the independent machine activity time is 15 minutes. (a) How many machines should be assigned so that the operator will not be idle? What is the machine idle time in this case? (b) How many machines should be assigned so that machines will not be idle? What is the operator idle time in this case?
You work as the administrative manager in charge of the operations of the medical services office that brings together over 10 specialists from different health fields. Each specialist has about 5 administrative employees who help with coding, billing, customer service, and other administrative tasks. You supervise all administrative employees. For two months you have noticed that a series of conflicts have arisen between the employees you supervise, which you must address promptly to avoid escalation. These are the conflicts that have been identified: A new position has been opened to supervise night operations and two of the employees have requested it. However, both have resorted to demonstrating that the other does not have the capabilities to rise to the position. These interpersonal differences have resulted in a tense work environment.It has been rumored that one of the medical specialists is going to retire, so it is possible that he will put the five administrative employees…
A company makes two products (A and B). Each product requires time on two machines 1 and 2. the specifications for each product are as follows Product A Product B Processing time on machine 1 (hrs/unit) Processing time on machine 2 (hrs/unit) Material and labor cost (Sh./ unit) Selling price (Sh./ unit) Maximum possible sale (units) 2 1 2 14 15 16 18 130 150 The amount of time available on machine 1 is 360 hrs and on machine 2 is 260 hrs. Using simplex method determine the number of product A and B, which should be sold in order to maximize total contribution for the company.
2. Frank Underwood is able to install new mufflers for his customers needing this service arrive at the shop. Frank Underwood uses three workers for his work, i.e., m=3. All the workers have same service rate. The hourly service rate of an individual worker and the hourly arrival rate of the gustomers can be obtained from the equation. x3 - x² – 69x +189 = 0. It is known that the hourly service rate of an individual worker is less than the hourly customer arrival rate. The process follows assumptions of M/M/m model. Now answer the following questions| a) What is the arrival rate of the customers (2) and service rate of an individual worker (H).2 (Clearly write down the equation in the form of factors before writing the final solutions) b) What is the probability of no customer in the system, i.e., (Pa)? c) What is the average number of customers in the queue (La) d) What is the average time a customer spends waiting in the queue (W (in hours)? e) What is the utilization rate (Q)
