Problem 4
Consider a T-Mobile kiosk in a mall. Customers come in with various needs, mostly for a
new phone, but also for billing questions, bill payment, phone problems, and for accessories.
Last Month, on average, 63 customers stopped by the kiosk per day and were served.
They are open from 11:00 in the morning to 7:00 at night.
The average time to serve a customer was 12.5 minutes of one employee's time.
To keep it simple, assume that they have 2 employees in the kiosk at all times.
They also tracked that on average, a customer waits 3.8 minutes before being helped by an employee.
Sometimes there are mistakes made in setting up a new phone, or an item is out of stock, or some
other problem occurs. We will call that a "defect" in the service process and that happened
on average, 1.6 times per day.
Record or compute the numbers for the company's dash board.
Each employee does 1.1 hours of non-customer work each day.
