Use the scenario given below to answer the following question.
Consider the flow process map given below.Assume that orders enter the system with a time between arrivals that is exponentially distributed with a mean of 0.8 minutes.The processing time at work station 1 is exponential with a mean of 0.50 minutes,and at work station 2,it is exponential with a mean of 1 minute.The queue for work station 1 has a capacity of 6,while the queue for work station 2 has a capacity of 4.
Run the simulations for 30 replications of a 24-hour.
-The fraction time blocked for work station 1 is ________.
A)0.00 minutes
B)0.97 minutes
C)0.42 minutes
D)0.49 minutes

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fraction time blocked for a workstation is calculated as the ratio of blocked time to total available time. Without specific data, the correct choice is based on typical scenarios or given context, which suggests 0.42 minutes as a plausible fraction.
