1. What would the average wait time be under alternative A and under alternative B ? 2. If advisors earn $90 per day, which alternative would be cheaper for SWU (assume that if advisors work 6 days in a given work week, they will be paid time and a half for the sixth day)? 3. From a student satisfaction point of view, which of the two alternatives would be preferred? Why? a. Hire one more advisor for the 2-week (10-working day) advising period. This will increase the available number of advisors to 9 and therefore lower the average waiting time. b. Increase the number of days that the advisors will work during the 2-week registration period to 6 days a week. If SWU increases the number of days worked to 6 per week, then the 8 advisors need only see 209 students a day to advise all of the students in 2 weeks. Requirement 1. What would the average wait time be under alternative A and under alternative B ? Begin by selecting the formula to calculate the wait time.

R minutes of wait time The registration advisors at a small western university (SWU) help 2,500 students develop their class schedules and register for classes each semester. Each advisor works for 10 hours a day during the registration period. SWU currently has 8 advisors. While advising an individual student can take anywhere from 2 to 30 minutes, it takes an average of 15 minutes per student. During the registration period, the 8 advisors see an average of 200 students a day on a first-come, first-served basis. The head of the registration advisors at SWU has decided that the advisors must finish their advising in 2 weeks ( 10 working days) and therefore must advise 250 students a day. However, the average waiting time given a 15 -minute advising period will result in student complaints, as will reducing the average advising time to 14 minutes.
