Utilization of a Worker 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.
What is the utilization of the worker rinsing hair?

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
1. Earlier I used to find excuses for not doing my operations management homework, when Veronica, my friend told me about HwA and then everything fell into place. Starting from the inventory management assignments to the critical path measure problem solutions, their operations management tutors helped me get a straight A in all the homework.

I was badly stuck with an argumentative term paper writing assignment when I started searching for help on the net. I never thought that I will get any sort of specialized help for the Australian universities and when HwA promised to deliver that, I thought why not? Then I chatted with the expert and she helped me out by writing and excellent term paper which helped me get great grades.

You guys never fail to surprise me. Thanks for helping me with my finance assignment.
Marisol Student
Biology is such an exact subject that you need to be absolutely clear about the concepts before you sit down to write an assignment. When I moved to the US for my masters the professors wanted us to learn the subject by making us work more and more on our own. I was seriously getting stressed with all the hours I was spending on writing assignments without actually learning anything. Here TheReliableTutor.com biology tutor helped me bridge the gap and now I am much more confident."
Barry Coutinho Student
I was completely lost with my Thermodynamics assignment. I approached the HwA team for help and they connected me with the best chem engineering tutor ever. He not only cleared my concepts but also helped me in solving my assignments. Kudos team!

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
