If a campus deli serves 250 customers during 11:30 A.M to 1:30 P.M. then the average amount of time that a customer spends in process is 4.32 minutes.

What is average?

Average is basically sum of numbers or distance covered divided by the numbers. It is also known as mean.

How to find time?

In this question Little's law applies. The formula for the law is as under:

Inventory=flow rate *flow time.

Inventory=250 customers

Flow time=120 minutes (between 11:30 and 1:30)

Flow rate=Inventory/flow time

=250/120

=2.08 person per minute.

To find the time each customer spends in the process:

Inventory=9

Flow rate=2.08

Flow time=9/3.08

=4.32 minutes.

Hence if a campus deli serves 250 customers during 11:30 A.M to 1:30 P.M. then the average amount of time that a customer spends in process is 4.32 minutes.
