Continuing our discussion of Kristen's Cookie Company, please answer the following:
1. Consider the following order arrivals for one dozen cookies: 6:04, 6.13, 6.18, 6.26, 6.31, 6.36, 6.44, 6.55, 7.06, 7.08. Assuming First-Come-First-Serve scheduling, determine when each order will be ready and the average time from order receipt to delivery.
1. In question 1 above assume that orders 7 and 10 have priority over all other waiting orders (those that have not yet begun the process. i.e. not mixed). Determine when each order will be ready and the average time from order receipt to delivery. Compare your results for questions 1 and 2.
1. Kristen was considering limiting the selection of cookies to 2 best sellers -- Chocolate Chip and Peanut Butter. Also, under this scenario, the mixing lot size will always be 3 dozen with any unused mix saved in the mixing bowl kept in a refrigerator for later use. Assuming that arriving orders are for one dozen each alternating between the two mixes, determine when each order will be ready and the average time from order receipt to delivery. Consider the first six orders arriving equally spaced twenty minutes apart.
1. Consider the scenario described in 3 above. Assume that there is no pre-mixed dough in the refrigerator at 6 pm when Kristen opens the shop. Determine when each order will be ready and the average time from order receipt to delivery if orders for one dozen cookies each arrive according to the following schedule: 6.03 pm Chocolate Chip, 6.05 pm Peanut Butter, 6.07 pm Chocolate Chip, 7.36 pm Peanut Butter, 7.38 pm Chocolate Chip, and 7.40 pm Peanut Butter. Compare these results with those obtained when orders arrive as described in 3 above.
