2. At what time of the day ( Clock time) do trucks start to queue up?
Therefore, it will take 3600
1200
Ans The truck will begin queueing at 11:00.
3. At what time of the day ( clock time) can the last truck leave?
6400 bbls - 3600 bbls
Ans Therefore, the last truck can leave at 16:00 + 3.5 = 19:30 O'clock

The plant stop working at 20:00. However, wet berries cannot be stored overnight. So, during 20:00 to 24:00

The truck will queue up when the barrels of berries is reached the capacity of bins -- 3,600 bbls. The wet berri

The last truck can leave when all berries are stored only in the bins or when the inventory of berries goes do

5.What is the number of trucks waiting at 6 pm?
at 6 pm the total quantity on truck is
= Q at 4 pm - Produced berries from 4-6 pm - bin capacity
= 6400bbls - 2hr(800 bbls/hr) - 3600 bbls
= 1200 bbls
Average 100 bbls / truck
There are 1200/100 = 12 Trucks are waitng.
Arrival rate 1200 bbl/hr or 12 Trucks/hr
During 8 hours interval, total arrived trucks 96 Trucks
Trucks arriving before the bins are full do not have to wait.
From Question 2.,The bins are full at 11:00. So any trucks arrives at 8:00 - 11:00 ( 3 hours) does not have to w
Ans that is 3 hrs * 16 trucks.hr = 36 Trucks Do not need to wait
And the rest 96 - 48 = 60 Trucks Have to wait
7. What is the total waiting time (in hours) of trucks?
Total truck waiting hours = Q of waiting berries
Waiting berries = area above bin capacity
= 1/2*1*(4800-3600)+(4800-3600)*4+1/2*4*(6400-4800)+1/2*1.5*(6400-3600)
= 10700 bbls . Hr
Ans Total truck waiting hours is 107 Truck . Hrs
8. Consider on the trucks that have to wait. How long does such a truck have to wait on the average?
From Problem No. 6 -7
60 trucks have to wait and total of waiting time for all waiting trucks is 107 truck. Hr
Ans Therefore, Each waiting truck waits for 1.8 hours or 1 hour 48 mins
9. What is the maximum number of trucks waiting at any point in time?
The number of trucks will be maximum at 16:00. At this time quantity of berries on the truck is
= Total Berries at 16:00 - Bin capacity
= 6400-3600 = 2800 bbls
Ans Therefore , Maxinum No. of trucks is 28.0 trucks
10. What is the maximum amount of time any truck has to wait?
The trucks that have to wait longest is the last truck that arrives.
Ans From question No.3, the last truck will have to wait 3.5 hours.
At 14:00 the Q on truck is Q at 12:00 + 2hr*400bbl/hr - bin capacity
= 4800+2*(400)- 4800 = 800 bbls
therefore, Truck will have to wait 1 hr
At 15:00 the Q on truck is Q at 12:00 + 3hr*400bbl/hr - bin capacity
= 4800+3*(400)- 4800 = 1200 bbls
therefore, Truck will have to wait 1.5 hr
Ans Average truck waiting time between 2 pm to 3 pm is 1.25 hrs
6. Of all the trucks that arrive what is the number of trucks that do not have to wait at all? What is the number of tru
11. Consider a truck that arrives between 2 pm and 3 pm. How long does such a truck have to wait on average?
Given : Bin Capacity is 4800bbls
Average Berries Quantity that store on the truck between 2- 3 pm is the area under curve between 2 - 3 pm wh
capacity of 4800 bbls

12.What is the maximum time any truck has to wait? Given : Bin Capacity is 4800bbls
Ans The trucks that have to wait longest is the last truck that arrives.
The Maximum quantity - Bin capacity
6400 bbls - 4800 bbls
The maximum time that truck has to wait is 2 hrs
When Holding bins capacity is 4,800 bbls and after 16:00 Plant capacity is 400 bbls/hr
13. What is the average waiting time (in hours) of trucks?
Total Berry quantity waiting is the quantity above 4800 bbls
= 1/2 * (20-12) * (6400-4800)
= 6400 bbls.hr
Or 64.00 Truck .hr
Trucks arrives 1200 bbls/hr or 12 Truck/hr
During 12:00 - 16:00 ( the interval that the Q is above bin capacity), 4 hours
there are 48 Trucks
The average waiting time is total truck waiting time/ total truck waiting is
Ans 1.33 hrs or 1.00 hrs 20 mins
14. What is the maximum time any trucks has to wait?
Ans The trucks that have to wait longest is the last truck that arrives.
The Maximum quantity - Bin capacity
6400 bbls - 4800 bbls
The maximum time that truck has to wait is 4 hrs
= 4 hrs400 bbl/hr
