processing rate of the machine is 30 jobs per hour. Assume the following:
(i) inter-arrival time and processing time for jobs follow exponential
distributions
(ii) queue discipline is first-come-first-served (FCFS)

shop. Which of the
following information would be necessary to determine the number of
observations?

(B) Accuracy only
(C) Both confidence level and accuracy

Q4: The average demand for a component is 10 units per day. A store follows
a periodic review system for this component. The stock level for this
component is checked after every 30 days. The leadtime to get this component
from the supplier is 5 days. During one review, the stock level is found

to be 50. If the policy of the company is to have a safety stock of 20 % of the

expected demand during the next period, order size for the next period will be
(A) 340
(B) 350
(C) 360
(D) 370
Q4: Reduction in the variability of manufactured product characteristics will
definitely result in observations close to
(A) the upper control limit in Xchart.
(B) the lower control limit in Xchart.
(C) the lower control limit in R chart.
(D) the center line in R chart.
Q5: On an average, there are 30 customers in a queue. If the arrival rate of
customers into the system is 16 customers per hour and on average 32
customers leave the system per hour, then the averagenumber of customers in
the system is
(A) 16.5 (B) 30.5 (C) 32.0 (D) 46.0
Q6: The specification limits for the weight of a product are 13.1 kg and 15 kg.

index is
(A) 6.3 (B) 1.9 (C) 1.4 (D) 8.6
Q7: Customers arrive at a service counter manned by a single person
according to a Poisson distribution with a mean arrival rate of30 per hour.
The time required to serve a customer follows an exponential distribution
with a mean of 100 seconds. The average waiting time (in hours) of a customer
in the system will be
(A) 0.138 (8)0.166 (C) 0.276 (D) 0.332
