Question: Which technique ( Simulation , Capacity Analysis, or Waiting Line Analysis ) would be most appropriate for the problem situations given in I, II ,

Which technique (Simulation, Capacity Analysis, or Waiting Line Analysis) would be most appropriate for the problem situations given in I, II, and III?
I: A decision maker must determine the number of nurses to hire for a first-aid center so that the percentage of time a randomly arriving patient will wait is less than a certain value set by management. Its also of interest to operate the center at the lowest hourly operating cost.
II: A decision maker wants to identify the bottleneck resource in a production line and improve the throughput.
III: A decision maker wants to determine the best configuration of the material handling system that transports thousands of different parts arriving randomly to the production floor. Some of the constraints are too complex and no analytical solutions appear to be possible.
Group of answer choices
