A hospital emergency room requires different numbers of nurses on different days of the week. The number of full-time employees required to be working (i.e. not on call) each day is given in the table below.
Mon | Tue | Wed | Thu | Fri | Sat | Sun |
18 | 15 | 12 | 13 | 20 | 28 | 22 |
Hospital rules require that nurses work four consecutive days, are on call for one day, and then receive two days off. The hospital wants to meet its daily requirements, while minimizing the number of nurses that must be on staff.
A. How many total nurses are needed to be on staff for the optimal solution?
B.Suppose the hospital is experiencing a budget crunch and needs to use the nurses' on call day to temporarily staff the emergency room.
How many nurses work on Thursday in the optimal solution?

- During an eight-hour shift, 750 non-defective parts are desired as a result of a manufacturing operation. The default operation time is 15 minutes. As the operators of machine are inexperienced, the actual time they take to perform the operation is 20 minutes, and, on average, a fifth of the parts that start to be manufactured are lost. Assuming that each one of the machines used in this operation will not be available for one hour in each shift, determine the number of machines needed.Chapter 5. (M/M/s/K Model). Leia is responsible for 12 computers in the IT offices in a small business called DataWish. Each computer runs on an average for 4 weeks and requires an average of ½ or 0.5 weeks to get reset by Leia before it can start up again. If we assign the Poisson distribution to the “arrival” of each computer for service and an exponential distribution to the actual service provided, answer the following questions: a. The arrival rate would be units per week and the service rate would be units per week. b. Calculate the following operating characteristics for the M/M/s/K system: Utilization Factor (ρ) % Performance Measures P0 (probability that sytem is empty) % L (average units in system) units Lq (average units waiting in queue) units W (average time in the system) weeks Wq (average time in the queue) weeks c. If we assign a cost of waiting as $750 per week per computer and $800 per week of…fi Auto mobile company manufactures cars and trucks. Each vehicle must be processed in the paint shop and body assembly shop. If the paint shop were only painting trucks, then 80 per day could be painted. If the paint shop were only painting cars, then 120 per day could be painted. If the body shop were only producing cars, then it could process 100 per day. If the body shop were only producing trucks, then it could process 100 per day. Each truck contributes GHS60,000 to profit, and each car contributes GHS40,000 to profit. Use linear programming to determine a daily production schedule that will maximize the company’s profits.
- There is an upstream Picking department that feeds two downstream Packing departments: Pack Singles and Pack Multis. Those Packing departments feed to a Shipping department that loads the outgoing trucks. 40% of your Pick volume goes to Pack Singles and has a packing rate of 104 units per labor hour (uph). 60% of the Pick volume goes to Pack Multis and has a pack rate of 215 units per labor hour. Your pickers pick both Single and Multi items throughout the day at an overall average rate of 114 units per labor hour. All units that are packed in both processes go through the Ship process at a rate of 570 units per hour. You have 102 people today for all 4 departments and you absolutely must pack 47,880 units in Pack Multis Items to meet a customer promise metric. How do you allocate labor to balance the flow in your department if you work a 10 hour shift? Do not assume breaks or lunches in your answer. Redirect 1: You now need to process all of the Pack Singles Volume in the first 5…A large building may require an automated alarm system which monitors and controls all fire and security alarms in the building. Normally, the building is divided into zones and a number of alarms are associated with each zone. Alarms alert a central manned control area who may pass these on to the emergency services or may respond personally.Factors which have to be taken into account in building such a system are:Ø If the control area is unmanned and an alarm is activated this alarm should not be ignored if it is potentially serious. Emergency services should be automatically called.Ø Some but not all parts of the building may be equipped with sprinkler systems or systems to shut down electrical equipment. These should be activated if a fire alarm is confirmed. They should not be activated if there are people in the same room.Ø The building may be equipped with direction indicators which illuminate the route to the nearest exit. These should be activated when a fire alarm is…JOHNSON’S RULE Five specialty jobs at a La Crosse, Wisconsin, tool and die shop must be processed through two workcenters (drill press and lathe).

- Richard has been a highly regarded employee of the Brier Corporation for almost 20 years. Her loyalty to the company is reflected in her dedication to her job as general accounting clerk from which she has not taken a vacation in almost 12 years. Because of her dedication and long tenure, she has acquired many related responsibilities, which has allowed the Brier Corp to reduce its work force through attrition, control salary expenses and become more efficient and competitive. The following describes Richard’s responsibilities. Richard receives copies of credit sales orders from the sales department. From these documents she accesses the AR subsidiary ledger from her office computer and records the AR. She then records the sale in the sales journal and posts the transactions to the general ledger accounts. Cash receipts in payment of customer AR come directly to her office. She records the cash receipts in the GL cash and AR accounts and updates the AR subsidiary ledger. She then…Chapter 5. (M/M/s/K Model).
