An administrator of a small hospital is contemplating a relocation of a hospitals xray facility. Currently, the xray department is located such that only two patients can be waiting for the xray machine at one time. This has resulted in emergency patients being sent back to emergency and other in-patients being sent back to their rooms. The potential new location would double the amount of waiting space available. Arrivals to xray occur in a Poison manner at a rate of six per hour. On the average, it takes about eight minutes to service an xray-request. These service times have been shown to be exponential. Would you recommend that the xray facility be relocated? Why?
