2. A street noodle vendor in Singapore can service an average of 10 customers per hour. Given an average arrival rate of 8 customers per hour, use the Poisson distribution to calculate the probability that the vendor can handle the demand.
What is the probability of having exactly 10 customers arriving within 1 hour?
0.8159
0.1221
0.1396
0.1241
0.0993
3. A lean system uses 12 containers, each of which can hold 12 parts. The lead time required to round-trip one container through the system is normally 3 hours. The usual safety stock is 20%.
If the demand rate is changed to 50 parts per hour, how many containers should the system be using, all else being constant?
10 containers
12 containers
15 containers
20 containers
4. The Frankenmuth Fasteners Co. was implementing lean throughout their shop floor and needed to determine the number of containers at several of their work centers. In one such work center, the demand was 200 parts per hour, and the containers they used for this part held 50 parts. It normally takes 6 hours for a full container to make a circuit through the work cell and back to its input side, and they desired to carry 12% safety stock in the system.
How many containers should the lean system be using?

5. A lean system uses 12 containers, each of which can hold 12 parts. The lead time required to round-trip one container through the system is normally 3 hours. The usual safety stock is 20%.
If the demand rate is changed to 50 parts per hour, what would be the new required round-trip time, all else being constant?
2.4 hours
