• Suppose the patient arrival rate increases by 5%. Can the current system handle the increase? What about 7%? 10%? Compare the expected time patients spend in the system (by patient type) and the waiting times at each station for the
baseline, +5%, +7%, and +10% cases.
• Add an additional patient type (registration, lab, treatment,accounting, depart). These patients arrive at the rate of 3 per
hour. Can new system handle these new patients (under the 4 scenarios above)? If not, what is your recommendation (be
specific)?
• Replace the free-space movement with paths and "layout" for a clinic (starting with the single-source model). You can find a suitable layout on the internet or just make one up (using “reasonable” distances between stations).
