“Active Manufacturing” produces
several very popular lines of exercise equipment. The
company’s IT systems connect the inventory system to the sales
force so that sales people can see current inventory and a summary
of planned production in order to quote delivery times while making
sales. The database that the sales representatives can access is
housed on a single computer server that can currently handle on
average 150 data requests per hour – assuming that the time to
serve a data request is random and exponentially distributed.
(Assume that the program is written to serve each request in the
order it arrives and only works on one at a time). The sales
force uses the database randomly. After doing some data analysis
you find that the sales force generates an average of 100 data
requests per hour. The time between arriving requests is
approximately exponentially distributed.
