Native Scarves will open several new production facilities next year. Each new
facility is designed to have one quality inspector who checks the knitting of the
wool scarves before shipping it to retailers. The arrival of hand-knit wool scarves to
the quality inspection department is variable over the 24-hour workday (three 8-
hour shifts). A concern is raised that inspection may delay the shipment of scarves
to retailers during busy periods. This concern prompted the firm to undertake a
study of the flow of scarves into the quality inspection department as a waiting line.
Its general manager wants to determine whether one quality inspector per shift at
each facility will suffice. He established service guidelines stating that the average
delay waiting for quality inspection should be no more than one minute. Note that
each scarf can be viewed as a customer since scarves are the flow unit passing
through the system. Its minimum arrival time is 1, while maximum arrival time is 5
minutes.  What will you recommend to the general manager based on the results
of your analysis?
