The Arctic Flyers minor league hockey team has one box office clerk. On average, each customer that comes to see a game can be sold a ticket at the rate of 8 per minute. For normal games, customers arrive at the rate of 5 per minute. Assume arrivals follow the Poisson distribution and service times follow the exponential distribution. What is the average number of customers waiting in line? What is the average time a customer spends in the waiting line? What is the average number of customers in the system? RVW (Restored Volkswagens) buys 15 used VW\'s at each of two car auctions each week held at different locations. It then transports the cars to repair shops it contracts with. When they are restored to RVW\'s specifications, RVW sells 10 each to three different used car lots. There are various costs associated with the average purchase and transportation prices from each auction to each repair shop. Also there are transportation costs from the repair shops to the used car lots. RVW is concerned with minimizing its total cost given the costs in the table below. Given the costs below, draw a network representation for this problem. Formulate this problem as a transshipment linear programming model.
