Question:
Renting SUVs
The airport branch of a car rental company maintains a fleet of 50 SUVs. The airport branch is open 24 hours a day. Customers arrive at the rental company from the airport 24 hours a day - the average time between customers arriving and requesting an SUV is 2.4 hours. However, there is some variability in customer arrivals, in fact, the time between arrivals has a standard deviation of 2.4 hours. Assume that demand arrives in a similar pattern over the course of a 24 hour day. Also assume that, if all SUVs are rented, customers are willing to wait until there is an SUV available. An SUV is rented, on average, for 3 days with a standard deviation of 1 day.
