M6_IND1. A receiving operator for a large grocery store is analyzing her operations. Trucks arrive to the loading dock at an average rate of four per hour for each day. The cost of operating a truck is estimated to be $75 per hour. Trucks are met by a two-person crew, the crew can unload the truck in an average of 9 minutes. The payroll associated with each crew member is $18/hour. It is possible to install new equipment to help the crew operate more efficiently, decreasing the unloading time from 9 minutes to 7 minutes per truck. Rental of this equipment would increase the daily cost of the operation by $200 per day. Assume each day is an 8-hour shift. Should the new equipment be installed?
a) Consider the performance of the crew before the new equipment is installed. On average, how many trucks are in the system (to the nearest 0.01 trucks) given the arrival and service rates?
b) Consider the performance of the crew before the new equipment is installed. On average, how many hours (to the nearest 0.01 hours) does each truck spend in the system given the arrival and service rates?
c) Consider the performance of the crew before the new equipment is installed. Basing your cost on the number of trucks in the system, what is the total system cost (to the nearest dollar) per day (crew cost and truck cost)?
d) Consider the performance of the crew after the new equipment is installed. On average, how many trucks (to the nearest 0.01 trucks) are in the system given the arrival and the new service rate?
e) Consider the performance of the crew after the new equipment is installed. On average, how many hours (to the nearest 0.01 hours) does each truck spend in the system given the arrival and the new service rate?
f) Consider the performance of the crew after the new equipment is installed. Basing your cost on the number of trucks in the system, what is the total system cost (to the nearest dollar) per day (crew cost and truck cost)?
g) Based on your cost analysis - is it worth it to install the new equipment?

while setting up his new office, an attorney ordered thick, frieze carpets for the floor. however, the building inspector had him remove the expensive carpeting. the building inspector stated that according to federal regulations, the office must be wheelchair accessible as it is a public area. he further explained that since wheelchairs do not maneuver well in thick, frieze carpeting, the carpets had to be removed and be replaced with smooth-textured carpets that do not restrict wheelchair maneuverability. this scenario illustrates how a company is influenced by the component of its specific environment.
