- In Out Process 1 Process 2 Process 3 A popular tech firm is currently receiving many applications of students looking for an interesting job. The company has set up a special line to deal with these applications. Applications arrive and are first reviewed by an HR expert (process 1). The application is then transferred to a secretary who writes a draft response to the applicant (process 2) based upon the expert's decision. Finally, the response is checked and sent (process 3). The following data are available for this application handling line: Every 9.4 minutes an application arrives. Process 1 consists of a single expert, who can judge an application in 8.2 minutes. Process 2 consists of a single secretary, who can write a response in 3.8 minutes. Process 3 consists of 4 parallel operating employees. One employee can check and send a response in 12.2 minutes. Assume that the transfer from one process to the next does not require any time. What is the departure rate for this system (expressed in the number of responses sent per hour)?
