Customer Waiting Time in Operations Management
Question
Georgette Scissors, a hair stylist, is about to open a hair salon in University City. The following data is taken from her business plan. Following the demand projection, one customer arrives every 20 minutes starting at 9AM with the last customer arriving at 5:40 pm. The customers arrive exactly every 20 minutes because they receive appointments (to simplify the analysis, you can assume that every customer shows up for her appointment and does so exactly on time). Customers arrive to a waiting area with unlimited capacity and then follow the same sequence of steps shown below:
Step 1. Color hair. 30 mins/ customer.
Step 2. Sit under Bonnet drier. This is a chair-mounted drying hood that does not require an attendant. 25 mins/customer
Step 3. Rinse hair. 15 mins/customer
Step 4. Cut hair. 20 mins/customer.
Step 5. Style hair. 15 mins/customer.
Step 6. Payment. 5 mins/customer.
Georgette will be solely in charge of cutting customers’ hair (Step 4). Georgette will hire four workers to help her with coloring (Step 1), rinsing (Step 3), styling (Step 5) and collecting payments (Step 6). Each of these employees is exclusively dedicated to one of these four tasks. Georgette will also purchase one bonnet drier for Step 2, which does not require a worker to be involved in the activity.
How many customers will be in the waiting room (waiting to be attended) at 6pm?

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
The math tutors at TheReliableTutor.com are very helpful and they have real knowledge about the subject. I have tried many other online assignment writing services but the quality that I have got from TheReliableTutor.com is unmatched. That is why now I only use them for all my math assignment help for my masters program.
Timothy Fairchild Student
The quality of the research work and the structuring of the assignment essay was almost exactly as what our professor had asked for. The assignment expert at HwA was extremely professional with maintaining the deadline and sticking to the guidelines stipulated. Overall my experience with them has been way above satisfactory and I would recommend them to all students wanting help in writing their instrumentation engineering assignment.
Barbara Hooper Student
The management case study was based on a factory in Napier, which I am sure no US based or UK based assignment experts could have solved. I searched online for management assignment experts from New Zealand but was not being able to narrow down on one. Luckily, then I bumped into TheReliableTutor and found out that the management assignment experts are actually from New Zealand. The case study went well and so did the other management assignment solutions, for which I took help from them again.

Earlier I used to find excuses for not doing my location strategy homework, when Veronica, my friend told me about HwA and then everything fell into place. Starting from the strategic location assignments to the critical path measure problem solutions, their location strategy strategic location experts helped me get a straight A in all the homework.
Suzanna Fletcher Student
I work in a consultancy firm from where I planned to do my MBA in correspondence from a reputed University of New Zealand. Since I chose marketing as my main stream, I got plenty of help on all my assignments from the experts from New Zealand, through HwA.

Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
