Yоu аre а prоud engineer fоr Apple, on the teаm developing the newest iPhone! Your manufacturing plant is based out of Silicon Valley in California. The parts for each iPhone arrive from an upstream Poisson process with an arrival rate of 1 part every 5 minutes. All the parts that enter the system must go through a station which houses 2 prefabrication machines. A part, though, only requires to be processed by 1 of the 2 machines during prefab. The prefab time is exponentially distributed with the same mean for each of 8 minutes. If all the machines at the prefab station are busy, then the part will wait for the next available machine. [HINT: The machines do NOT break down and thus do not need to be repaired]. a. What is the probability that both machines are idle? Please round your answer to 3 decimal places (e.g. #.###). [PartA] (4pts) b. What is the overall system utilization? [PartB] (2pts) c. What is the average number of parts waiting for prefab? [PartC] (2pts) d. A floor technician suggests that the system utilization rate should be lower (less than 30%) if the company wants to maintain the life of the machines and avoid machine failures. Do you think adding a third machine with the same processing rate will achieve that goal? Please show the new utilization rate to support your answer. Please express your answer to 3 decimal places and your asnwer (e.g., #.###, yes or #.###, no) and explain why on your scratch paper. [PartD] (2pts)
