Operations Management Spring 2015 Queuing Homework Problem - INDIVIDUAL 1. Using the M/M/s Excel spreadsheet found in the Session 8 folder of Courseworks, calculate and plot the values of system utilization and average wait time for a single queue/single server system for at least 10 values of lambda starting with lambda of 1 and increasing it to some value close to but not equal to 3. Assume a mu of 3. 2. Do the same for a single queue/multiple server system with two servers each with a mu of 1.5. 3. In no more than a paragraph, what conclusions (revelations even!) do you reach from looking at these plots?
