CASE:Staffing and Scheduling Bank Branch Tellers: Time in Line Minutes

The document provides staffing and scheduling information for bank branch tellers at the lobby and drive-through on weekdays. It includes data on average arrival times, service times, number of tellers, and average wait times throughout the day. The total work hours needed per week are calculated as 88.75 hours for the lobby and 27.65 hours for the drive-through. To adequately staff both locations would require a minimum of 3 tellers working full time. An optimal schedule is proposed to minimize idle time.

If two of the tellers are on leave, the number of part time employees increases. Assuming two employees are absent, we are required to employee additional 4 part time employees to meet the requirements. But we can also notice that the idle time as reduced. This shows that employing more part time employees would increase the utilisation of the system.

To minimize both idle time andno of employees 1216
