Question: 5 . Bank 2 4 is open 2 4 hours per day. Tellers work two consecutive 6 - hour shifts and are paid $ 1
Bank is open hours per day. Tellers work two consecutive hour shifts and are paid $ per hour. The possible shifts are as follows: midnight AM AMnoon, noon PM PMmidnight. During each shift, the following numbers of customers enter the bank: midnight AM; AMnoon, ; noon PM; PMmidnight, Each teller can serve up to customers per shift. To model a cost for customer impatience, we assume that any customer who is present at the end of a shift costs the bank $ We assume that by midnight of each day, all customers must be served, so each days midnight AM shift begins with customers in the bank. Formulate an optimization problem that can be used to minimize the sum of the banks labor and customer impatience costs. NOTE: The only reason the problem does not specifically ask for an LP is that the decision variables number of workers and customers need to be integers.
