The University Dental Clinic (UDC) serves as a walk-in clinic (i.e. no appointments) that takes care of basic dental health. (Other, more extensive dental work is done by a separate clinic on campus.) Patients arrive on average every 11.0 minutes at the UDC. The layout of the clinic is such that there is one room per hygienist, but a separate room is set aside for the dentist to examine patients. The clinic also employs a receptionist and a bookkeeper and a cashier who excepts payment. All of their activities and the associated activities are shown in the diagram below. cashier Receptionist Sign-in & Pul Records 4 min/patent Bookkeeper Do Insurance Paperwork 5 min patient Hygeinist 1 Accept Payment 2 min patient Clean Teeth 18 min patient Dentist Hygeinist 2 Clean Teeth Dentist Examines Patient 18 minpatient 5.5 min patient Hygeinist 3 Clean Teeth 18 min patient
