Consider a single-server workstation that processes two types of jobs, type 1 and type 2. Each job type arrives according
to a Poisson process with corresponding rates ra1=6 hr1 and ra2=9 hr1
.
These two arrival processes are independent from each other, and jobs are
processed according to a first-come-first-serve policy. The processing times
of the two job types are normally distributed with the corresponding distributions being N1(5min, 4min2
) and N2(3min, 1min2
).
i.(5 pts) Argue that the counting process that counts the arriving jobs
to the station, irrespective of their type, is Poisson, and determine the
rate ra of this process.
ii.(10 pts) Use the result from part (i) to argue that this workstation
can be modeled as an M/G/1 queue. Let r.v. Te denote the effective
processing time for this queueing station, and determine the mean te,
the variance \sigma
2
e and the squared coefficient of variation c
2
e
for this r.v.
iii. (5 pts) Use your results from part (ii) to show that the operation of
this workstation is stable.
iv.(10 pts) Use your results from the previous parts to perform a Mean
Value Analysis (MVA) of this workstation. More specifically, compute
the station throughputs T H1 and T H2 with respect to each job type,
the corresponding server utilizations u1 and u2, the expected cycle
times CT1 and CT2 for the two job types, and the expected number
of jobs of each type, W IPq1
and W IPq2
, in the waiting queue
