Three jobs are in the queue. The number of tickets each has and the number of seconds of processing time each requires are shown in Table 2. Assume that quanta of CPU time are sufficiently small, and that no other processes get any tickets before the last of these processes complete. For the following questions, please circle the correct answer from the candidate list. Table 2 Using lottery scheduling algorithm, Job # Tickets CPU time turnaround time for Job 1 is 30 10 (a) 20 (b) 25 (c) 30 (d) 35 2 30 15 turnaround time for Job 2 is (a) 20 (b) 25 (c) 30 (d) 35 3 40 10 turnaround time for Job 3 is (a) 20 (b) 25 (c) 30 (d) 35 average turnaround time is (a) 20 (b) 25 (c) 30 (d) 35 When using lottery scheduling algorithm, what is the turnaround time for Job 1, Job 2, and Job 3? And what is the average turnaround time? 1.
To keep track of the queue and meet deadlines, two things are required: meticulous scheduling and planning.
Consider doctor’s office: Physician’s have 30 min appointment slots starting at 8 AM to 6 PM Physicians spend 90 min (1.5 hrs.) each day on electronic medical records and 30 min on claims processing/questions related to medical insurance Typically, physicians have 75 percent appointments booked in advance, which leads to frequent cancellations. One out of 6 patients do not show up Even though appointment slots are 30 min, physicians spend on average 23 minutes with patient. Out of those 23 min, say 5 min could be done by nurse How much of physician’s work is value added
Joan has a small design and tailoring shop making custom outfits for women. She has two employees. Each employee only begins working on a dress when a customer order has been received and then she makes the dress from beginning to end. The average production time of a dress is 1.8 days, with a standard deviation of 2.1 days. Historically, Joan has been receiving orders with interarrival times of one day on average. The interarrival times of orders have a coefficient of variation of one. (Carry at least 4 decimal places in all intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.) What is the expected waiting time, in days, between when an order is received and when production begins on the dress? A. 9.12 days B. 6.50 days C. 1.23 days D.3.41 days

An engineering i rm retains a technical specialist to assist four design engineers workingon a project. The help that the specialist gives engineers ranges widely in time consumption.The specialist has some answers available in memory, others require computation,and still others require signii cant search time. On the average, each request for assistancetakes the specialist one hour.The engineers require help from the specialist on the average of once each day. Becauseeach assistance takes about an hour, each engineer can work for seven hours, on the average,without assistance. One further point: Engineers needing help do not interrupt if thespecialist is already involved with another problem.Treat this as a i nite queuing problem and answer the following questions:a. How many engineers, on average, are waiting for the technical specialist for help?b. What is the average time that an engineer has to wait for the specialist?c. What is the probability that an engineer will have to wait…
Consider a business process in which each order that arrives is split into two jobs that are performed in parallel and are then rejoined before leaving the system. Assume no variance in inter-arrival times nor in process times for each task. Each station (depicted by a rectangle) contains one or more identical parallel servers (depicted by circles). Each server is independent of all others and can work on one job at at a time. Process times for individual servers at station A are 5 minutes. Servers at stations B and C have process times of 3 and 6 minutes respectively. Consider the system with one server at each of the stations A and B as before, and two identical parallel servers (each with a 6 minute process time) at station C. What is the system's capacity? What is the cycle time for each order through the entire process flow?
Priority-Discipline Queueing Models Southeast Airlines is a small commuter airline serving primarily the state of Florida. Their ticket counter at a certain airport is staffed by a single ticket agent. There are two separate lines—one for first-class passengers and one for coach-class passengers. When the ticket agent is ready for another customer, the next first-class passenger is served if there are any in line. If not, the next coach-class passenger is served. Service times have an exponential distribution with a mean of 3 minutes for both types of customers. During the 12 hours per day that the ticket counter is open, passengers arrive randomly at a mean rate of 2 per hour for first-class passengers and 10 per hour for coach-class passengers. A. What kind of queueing model fits this queueing system? B. Find the main measures of performance—L, Lq, W, and Wq—for both first-class passengers and coach-class -passengers. C. What is the expected waiting…

Wally's Widget Warehouse takes orders from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. The manager wants to analyze the process and has provided the following process flow diagram. There are three steps required to ship a customer order. The first step is to take the order from a customer. The second step is to pick the order for the customer, and then they have to pack the order to ready it for shipping. The order-taking step works at a maximum rate of 100 customer orders per hour. Order picking works at a maximum of 75 per hour, and packing works at 60 per hour. Customers Order Taker 100 Customers/ hour Current maximum output Pick orders Pack orders Customer Orders Pick Orders 75 Customers/ hour hours hours Picked Orders Wally wants to figure out the following. a. What is the current maximum daily output of the process assuming that no one works overtime?
