200/month Process Ip=500 1000/month Auto-Moto Financial Services- The Old Process • Auto-Moto receives 1,000 applications per month. In the old process, each application is handled in a single activity, with 20% of applications being approved. 500 were in the process at any time. Average flow time T = ? 800/month RT = I T = I/R = 500/1,000 months = 0.5 month or 15 days. The firm recently implemented a new loan application process. In the new process, applicants go through an initial review and are divided into three categories. Discussion: How operational power destroys the walls of poverty.
New Process: The Same R, But smaller I Subprocess A Review 70% 200/month Accepted 30% IA = 25 25% 10% Subprocess B Review Initial Review 1000/month 25% 90% IB = 150 IR = 200 50% 800/month R = 1000 I = IIR + IA + IB = 200 + 25 + 150 = 375 Inventory reduced to 375 from 500 in the old process. Since R is constant, therefore T has reduced. T = I/R = 375/1000 = 0.375 month or 0.375(30) = 11.25 days The new process has decreased the processing time from 15 days to 11.25 days. Rejected

Flow Time of the Accepted Applications Under the Original Process – the average time spent by an application in the process is 15 days (approved or rejected). In the new process: 15 days reduced to 11.25 days. On average, how long does it take to approve an applicant? On average, how long does it take to reject an applicant? • Accepted-A: IR, A Accepted-A(T) = 6 + 3 = 9 Accepted-A = 17.5 % • Accepted-B: IR, B Accepted-B(T) = 6 + 18 = 24 Accepted-B = 2.5 % • Average Flow time of an accepted application = • [0.175(9)+0.025(24)] / (0.175+.025) = 10.875 The average flow time has reduced from 15 to 11.25. In addition, the flow time of accepted applications has reduced to 10.875. That is what the firm really cares about, the flow time of the accepted applications.

ER1; Problem 3.4 MBPF A hospital emergency room (ER) is currently organized so that all patients register through an initial check-in process. Each patient is seen by a doctor and then exits the process, either with a prescription or with admission to the hospital. 55 patients per hour arrive at the ER, 10% are admitted to the hospital and the rest will leave with a simple prescription. On average, 7 people are waiting to be registered and 34 are registered and waiting to see a doctor. The registration process takes, on average, 2 minutes per patient. Among patients who receive prescriptions, average time spent with a doctor is 5 minutes. Among those admitted to the hospital, average time is 30 minutes. Assume the process to be stable; that is, average inflow rate equals average outflow rate.
Directions • o) Draw the flow process chart • b) On average how long a patient spend in ER? • c) On average how many patients are in ER? • Hints: • Compute flow time in buffer 1 • Compute average activity time of Doctor • Compute the average flow time in this process • Compute average flow time for a simple prescription patient • Compute average flow time for a potential admission patient • Compute number of patients in Doctor activity • Compute the average number of patients in the process.

ER2; Problem 3.5 MBPF A triage system has been proposed for the ER described in Exercise 3.4. As mentioned earlier, 55 patients per hour arrive at the ER. Patients will be registered as before and it takes an average of 2 minutes per patient. They will then be quickly examined by a nurse practitioner who will classify them as Simple Prescriptions or Potential Admits.Planners anticipate that the initial examination by triage nurses will take 3 minutes. They expect that, on average, 20 patients will be waiting to register and 5 will be waiting to be seen by the triage nurse. Planners expect eh Simple Prescriptions area to have, on average, 15 patients waiting to be seen. As before, once a patient’s turn come, each will take 5 minutes of a doctor’s time. The hospital anticipates that, on average, the emergency area will have only 1 patient waiting to be seen . As before, once that patient’s turn comes, he or she will take 30 minutes of a doctor’s time. Assume that, as before, 90% of all patients are Simple Prescriptions, assume, too, that the triage nurse is 100% accurate in making classifications.
Directions • o) Draw the flow process chart • a) On average how many patients are in ER? • b) On average, how long a patient spend in ER? • c) Compute average flow rate in buffer 3 and buffer 4. • d) Compute average flow time in all buffers. • e) Compute average number of patients in all activities. • f) On average, how long does a simple prescription patient spend in the ER? • d) On average, how long does a Potential Admit patient spend in the ER?

ER3; Problem 3.6 MBPF Refer again to Exercise 3.5. Once the triage system is put in place, it performs quite close to expectations. All data conform to planners’ expectations except for one set-the classifications made by the nurse practitioner. Assume that the triage nurse has been sending 91% of all patients to the Simple Prescription area when in fact only 90% should have been so classified. The remaining 1% is discovered when transferred to the emergency area by a doctor. Assume all other information from Exercise 3.5 to be valid.
