Explanation / Answer

Arrival rate, = 4 per day

Service rate, = 5 per day

/ = 4/5 = 0.80

Refer table 2, Look for value of Lq corresponding to / = 0.80, for M=1, Lq = 3.2

Total cost per day = M*Cs + Lq*Cw = 1*1109+3.2*271 = $ 1976.2

For M=2, Lq = 0.152

Total cost per day = 2*1109+0.152*271 = $ 2259.2

Total daily cost is lower for M=1, therefore, optimal number of docks is 1

a. Number of docks = 1

b. New value of / = 4/5.71 = 0.70, for M=1, Lq = 1.633

Total cost per day = 1*(1109+100)+1.633*271 = $ 1651

This total daily cost is lower than that in part a, therefore the answer is Yes, because the daily total cost with the new equipment is $ 1651, which is lower than without the new equipment.
