- During nearly four decades of business operations, Memphis-based FedEx has earned a reputation for reliable, on-time delivery of packages to homes and offices around the country. Founder Fred Smith originally focused on overnight deliveries, choosing Memphis as the company’s headquarters because the airport rarely closes due to bad weather. With FedEx’s planes departing and arriving on schedule nearly all the time, its express shipments usually remained on schedule, then and now. To reassure customers that delivery will take place when and where promised, the firm offers a money-back guarantee on time-sensitive express shipments, among other services. FedEx has steadily expanded its portfolio of services since the 1970s. Its original overnight express delivery is currently available to U.S. customers in various forms, including “first-overnight” delivery, next-morning delivery, next-afternoon delivery, and budget-pleasing two- or three-day delivery. The company’s services also include cost-effective ground delivery for parcels and extra-speedy same-day delivery for urgent deliveries within 1,800 cities. Over the years, FedEx has widened its delivery network to more than 220 countries. It has purchased more cargo jets and acquired specialized shipping firms, including Tiger International, Roberts Express, RPS, and TNT Express, to support global growth. For international business customers needing products, parts, or raw materials shipped across countries or continents, the company now offers time-saving services such as commercial freight forwarding and cross-border logistical support. To add the convenience of local drop-off and pickup points for U.S. consumers and small businesses, FedEx acquired the Kinko’s office services company in 2004 and later rebranded it as FedEx Office. This acquisition also added printing and copying to the menu of services offered. Then the company arranged for large U.S. retailers such as Walgreens, Albertsons, Kroger, and Safeway to accept packages for shipment and receive package delivery for customer pickup in thousands of store locations. This means people who want to send a package can head to a nearby retailer and ship where they shop, rather than making a separate trip to the FedEx location. It’s also a safe alternative for packages to be picked up by people who don’t want FedEx shipments left by the front door. Another service FedEx offers to small and mid-sized businesses, including retailers, is FedEx Fulfillment. The purpose is to expedite order fulfillment by having each business store its products in a FedEx warehouse. Then, when the business’s customers place orders, FedEx puts the products into boxes bearing the business’s own logo and ships directly to those customers. The business doesn’t need a separate warehouse or staff for fulfillment, and packages are on their way to customers more quickly because the products were in FedEx’s warehouse, ready to be packed and shipped. This service puts FedEx into direct competition with Amazon.com, which offers a similar service to merchants that sell through the online Amazon Marketplace. But it also gives businesses that don’t sell via Amazon a fast and professional fulfillment alternative. FedEx is careful to let customers know, through media and social-media announcements, when it anticipates that extreme weather or other conditions will cause delays or force it to halt pickups and deliveries. For the duration of Hurricane Irma, for example, FedEx said it would suspend deliveries in Florida. Some Florida customers who had ordered generators to be delivered via FedEx were unhappy, because they worried about being without power during and after the storm. But one FedEx employee loaded several generator orders into his car and took them to customers himself. When a customer posted a grateful compliment to FedEx on Facebook, the message generated thousands of likes, shares, and positive comments. The company also received positive comments for its donations of cash and transportation services to areas devastated by Hurricanes Irma, Harvey, and Maria. According to the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI), FedEx often tops the list of U.S. shipping companies as ranked by customers surveyed. Every day, the company delivers 13 million packages—and during the busy year-end holiday season, it delivers many more. By meeting customers’ expectations for on-time deliveries, FedEx has increased annual revenues beyond $60 billion and positioned itself for continued growth in the future. How does FedEx’s money-back guarantee address customers’ concerns about heterogeneity?Repair calls are handled by one repairman at a photocopy shop. Repair time, including traveltime, is exponentially distributed, with a mean of two hours per call. Requests for copierrepairs come in at a mean rate of three per eight-hour day (assume Poisson).A) Identify the Queuing Model and sketch the system.B) What is the arrival rate?C) What is the service rate?D) What is the average number of customers awaiting repairs?Benny the Barber owns a one-chair shop. At barber college, they told Benny that his customers would exhibit a Poisson arrival distribution and that he would provide an exponential service distribution. His market survey data indicate that customers arrive at a rate of two per hour. It will take Benny an average of 20 minutes to give a haircut. Based on these figures, find the following:a. The average number of customers waiting.b. The average time a customer waits.c. The average time a customer is in the shop.d. The average utilization of Benny’s time.
- A vending machine dispenses hot chocolate or coffee. Service time is 30 seconds per cup andis constant. Customers arrive at a mean rate of 80 per hour, and this rate is Poissondistributed.A) Identify the Queuing Model and sketch the system.B) What is the arrival rate?C) What is the service rate?Ali Baba‘s Car Wash Service Centre is open 6 days a week, but its busiest day isalways on Sunday. From the previous data, Ali Baba estimates that dirty carsarrive at the rate of one every two minutes. One car at a time is cleaned in thisexample of a single-channel waiting line. Assuming Poisson arrivals andexponential service times, find the following: a.Compute the average number of cars in line. b.Calculate the value of probability that there are no car in the system. c.Compute the average time that a car spends in the system.Ali Baba‘s Car Wash Service Centre is open 6 days a week, but its busiest day isalways on Sunday.

- Western National Bank wants to provide a drive-through window for its customers. Management estimates that customers will arrive in their cars at the rate of 15 per hour. The teller who will staff the window can service customers at the rate of 20 per hour. Assuming Poisson arrivals and exponential service, find the following: Capacity utilization of the teller. Average number of cars in the waiting line Average number in the system. Average waiting time in line. Average waiting time in the system, including service.In an M/M/1 queueing system, the arrival rate is 3 customers per hour and the service rate is 5 customers per hour. a. What is the utilization? (round your answer to 3 decimal places) b. What is the expected number of customers in the system (L)? (round your answer to 3 decimal places) c. What is the expected waiting time in the system (W)? (express the waiting time in hours, round your answer to 3 decimal places) d. What is the expected number of customers in the queue (Lq)? (round your answer to 3 decimal places) e. What is the expected waiting time in the queue (Wq)? (express the waiting time in hours, round your answer to 3 decimal places)Granos, Inc. purchased new automated coffee vending machines, the Preso 2000. This Preso 2000 requires a constant 45 seconds to produce a coffee. It has been estimated that customers will arrive at the vending machine according to a Poisson distribution at an average of one every 50 seconds. To help determine the amount of space needed for the line in front of the vending machine, Granos, Inc. would like to know the expected average time in the system, the average line length (in costumers), and the average number of costumers in the system (both in line and at the vending machine).
