Question:

Work measurement procedures establish an average time of 6.24 minutes per piece on the inspection of a complex forging. The standard deviation of the inspection time is 0.71 minutes. Usually, 60 forgings are delivered to the inspection station on the line every eight-hour turn. One operator performs this inspection. Assuming that the castings arrive in Poisson fashion and that the service time is exponential, what would be the mean waiting time of a casting at the inspection station? What would be the average length of the casting queue?
