Scenario five your bank has decided to open a new drive-in


Please read the scenario and answer the  question basis on the scenario.

Scenario Five: Your bank has decided to open a new drive-in widow complex at the Water Street location that is more accessible to its downtown customers. The new branch will operate three lanes and will be manned using customer service personnel that can service customers at the rate of 4.5 customers every twenty minutes. The plan is to keep one lane open all day (9:00 AM - 5:00 PM), a second lane open for 2 hours during lunch (Noon - 2:00 PM) and a third lane open for 3 hours during afternoon/evening peak times (2:00 PM - 5:00 PM). Assume the arrival rates for off-peak times is 2 customers every 10 minutes, the arrival rate during lunch is 3.5 customers every 15 minutes, and the arrival rate for peak time increases to 5.5 customers every 20 minutes. Because this location is downtown and services a more affluent client, the bank pays its customer service personnel $32.25 per hour (including benefits) and estimates the wait time cost at $80.00 per hour.
