Question: Scenario E.1 SimQuick is being used to simulate the following bank process: Customer arrivals at the Entrance Door of the bank with an average time
Scenario E.1 SimQuick is being used to simulate the following bank process: Customer arrivals at the Entrance Door of the bank with an average time between arrivals of 2.5 minutes. The Line Buffer holds 6 customers. If a customer arrives and the buffer line is filled, the customer leaves. The Work Station Teller's processing time per customer is normally distributed, with a mean of 3.0 minutes and a standard deviation of 0.5 minutes. The Served Customer Buffer in the flow chart is used to count the number of customers processed during the period simulated. A 2-hour period was simulated. The SimQuick simulation is run, and the results are as follows:
| Element Types | Element Names | Statistics | Overall Means |
| Entrance | Door | Objects entering process | 41.80 |
| Objects unable to enter | 6.23 | ||
| Service level | 0.87 | ||
| Buffer | Line | Objects leaving | 37.83 |
| Final inventory | 3.98 | ||
| Minimum inventory | 0.00 | ||
| Maximum inventory | 5.85 | ||
| Mean inventory | 3.08 | ||
| Mean time in buffer | 9.75 | ||
| Work Station | Teller | Work cycles started | 37.83 |
| Fraction time working | 0.94 | ||
| Buffer | Served Customers | Final inventory | 36.85 |
Use the information in Scenario E.1. Approximately what percentage of total customers who arrived during the 2-hour period found the buffer full and were not able to enter?
