Question

14.9 You are given the following information about a drybatch

paving operation. You are going to use one mixer that has

a service rate of 30 services per hour. The dry-batch trucks you

use for bringing concrete to the paver have an arrival rate of 7.5

arrivals per hour. Each truck carries 6 cubic yard of concrete.

You have a total amount of 13,500 cubic yard of concrete to

pour. You rent a truck at $15 per hour and the paver at $60 per

hour. If the job takes more than 80 hours, you pay a penalty of

$140 per hour owing to delays in job completion. On the basis of

least cost, determine the number of trucks you should use. Plot

the cost versus the number of trucks used.
