You are in charge of a quarry that supplies sand and stone aggregates to your company's contruction sites. emply trucks from constuctions sites arrive at the quarry's huge piles of sand and stone aggregates and wait in line to enter the station, which can load either sand or aggregate. at the station, they are filled with material, eighed, checked out, and proceed to a construction site. currently, nine empty trucks arrive per hour, on average. once a truck has entered a loading station, it take 6 minutes for it to be filled, weighed, and checjed out. concerned that thrucks are spending too much time waiting and being filled, you are evaluating two alternative to reduce the average time the trucks spend in the system. the first alternative is to add side boards to the trucks( so that more material could be loaded) and to add a to the loading station (so that filling time could be reduced) at a total cost of $50,000. the arrival rate of trucks would change to six per hour, and the filling time would be reduced to 4 minutes. the second alternative is to add another loading station identical to the current one at the cost of $80,000. the trucks would wait in a comon line and the truck at the front of the line would move to the next available station. which alternative would you recommend if you want to reduce the current average time the truccks spend in the system, including service?
