Six dump trucks are used to haul the coal from the entrance of a small mine to the 10 railroad. Each truck is loaded by one of the two loaders. After loading truck moves
to a scale for weighing. Both loader and scale have FCFS queue for trucks. After
weighing the truck travels to unload and empty truck returns to loader queue. Initially two trucks are at the loaders and one on the scale and other three are in loader queue. The activity times for all the three are given below.
Simulate the dump truck operation and give the system snapshot for the first 5 clock times.
| Loading Time | 10 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 10 | 15 | 10 | 10 |
| Weighing Time | 12 | 12 | 12 | 16 | 12 | 16 | ||
| Travel Time | 60 | 100 | 40 | 40 | 80 |
Simulate the dump truck operation and give the system snapshot for the first 5 clock times.

State the steady state parameters of M/M/1 queue. A tool crib has exponential 10 interarrival and service times and serves a very large group of mechanics. The mean time between the arrivals is 4 minutes. It takes 3 minutes on an average for a tool crib attendant to service a mechanic. The attendant is paid $10 per hour. Would it be advisable to have a second tool crib attendant
