Cost Savings per Hour Relative to the Status Quo
Question
Community Bank is planning to improve customer service at its drive-in facility by reducing waiting and transaction times. Observations of the existing single-teller window reveal that customers arrive according to a Poisson process at an average rate of 10 per hour, and that they are given first-come first-served service with an average transaction time of 5 minutes. Transaction times are exponentially distributed. The cost of keeping a customer waiting in queue is represented as a $5-per-hour loss of goodwill.
The bank is considering the following two improvement options.
(A)The bank can lease high-speed information-retrieval and communication equipment that would cost $20 an hour. The new equipment would reduce the average
transaction time by one minute. Assume that the transaction times are still exponentially distributed with the leased equipment.
(B)The other option is to add another teller and to install four remote stations with pneumatic tubes running from the stations to the tellers, who are located in a glassed-in
building. The hourly cost of a teller is $10. (The teller is paid regardless whether he/she is idle or not. Ignore the cost for installing the pneumatic tubes, which are
systems that propel cylindrical containers through a network of tubes by compressed air or by partial vacuum.)
What is the cost savings per hour relative to the status quo?
Summary
This question belongs to Operations management and discusses cost savings per hour relative to the status quo for the given company.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
Most other online HRM tutoring services I have used were basically one way communication with the tutor simply providing with the cut and dried answers to the questions without really going to the heart of the questions. The online HRM tutor at HwA were different in the sense that they were more focused on helping me actually understand the subject and guiding me to write the HRM assignment and HRM homework rather than providing readymade solutions. Each HRM Online Tutoring session was a two way communication that helped me get even the minutest doubts cleared and understand the underlying concepts of the theories better.

My main concern was the relevant local Wellington research and reference work that was required for the final Statistics Assignment for my post graduate program at the Victoria University of Wellington. My professor was very particular about his requirement of relevant local data and samples from Wellington. With the stats assignment expert at HelpWithAssignment I did not have to worry about that since the expert provided the most excellent and relevant local data and references helping me to top the class.

I never expected that the essay review service would be completely free of cost. There is absolutely no hidden cost and moreover the proof-readers and grammar checkers are really good and helpful.

Writing the final year dissertation paper was a big deal for me as it is the ultimate decider for my grades. Needless to say that I was very nervous but I got immense help from HwA throughout the tenure and helped me get a solid A at the end of everything.

1.: I had used another online accounting assignment help provider earlier for one of my accounting assignments and my professor immediately found out that it was not my work. But with HelpWithAssignment and their assignment help experts who are from Singapore itself I have never faced this problem and have been happily using their services for the past two semesters.

Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
