Question: Retail Store Problem The time between customer arrivals at the order area of a retail store follows exponential distribution ( mean: 1 0 minutes )

Retail Store Problem
The time between customer arrivals at the order area of a retail store follows exponential distribution (mean: 10 minutes). A single clerk is responsible for receiving and verifying orders as well as processing payments, a task that consumes a duration ranging from 8 to 10 minutes, following a uniform distribution. Subsequently, upon completion of this task, each customer is directed to one of two available inventory staff members. These staff members retrieve the customer orders from the inventory of the retail store, a task that consumes a duration ranging from 16 and 20 minutes, following a uniform distribution. It is worth noting that each inventory staff member has their own distinct queue. 50% of customers are directed to Inventory staff member 1, while the remaining 50% are directed to Inventory staff member 2. Upon being served by an inventory staff, a customer exits the system.
