The ABC Company runs two shifts, from 8:00 am to midnight. Backups and system maintenance are performed between midnight and 8:00 am. For each of the following scenarios, determine whether the company’s current backup procedures enable it to meet its recovery objectives, and explain why:

  1. Scenario 1:

    • Recovery point objective = 24 hours

    • Daily backups at 3:00 a.m., process takes 2 hours

    • Copy of backup tapes picked up daily at 8:00 a.m. for storage off-site

  2. Scenario 2: Company makes daily incremental backups Monday through Friday at 3:00 a.m. each night. Company makes full backup weekly, on Saturdays at 1:00 p.m.

    • Recovery time objective = 2 hours

    • Time to do full backup = 3 hours

    • Time to restore from full backup = 1 hour

    • Time to make incremental daily backup = 1 hour

    • Time to restore each incremental daily backup = 30 minutes

  3. Scenario 3: Company makes daily differential backups Monday through Friday at 3:00 a.m. each night. Company makes full backup weekly, on Saturdays, at 1:00 p.m.

    • Recovery time objective = 6 hours

    • Time to do full backup = 4 hours

    • Time to restore from full backup = 3 hours

    • Time to do differential daily backups = 1 hour on Monday, increasing by 30 minutes each successive day

    • Time to restore differential daily backup = 30 minutes for Monday, increasing by 15 minutes each successive day

A pub opens its door for business at 6:00 PM. From 6:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M. 50 smokers in the pub smoke 2 cigarettes per hour and each cigarette emits 4mg formaldehyde. Fresh air is introduced into the pub @ 1,000 m3/hr. At 8:00 P.M. the number of smokers in the pub increases from 50 to 75 and as a result, the fresh air flow rate is increased from 1,000 m3/hr to 1,500 m3/hr to flush out the stale air....

At a facility’s loading dock, delivery vehicles arrive randomly, starting at 8:00 AM, at a rate of 2.0 per hour. If the dock is occupied by another vehicle, the driver must park in a waiting area until the dock is clear; this occurs with probability 0.20, independent of the time of day or other variables. Identify the family and parameter(s) of each of the following random variables (for instance, “Bernoulli(0.5)”). If it is not one of our “famous” families indicate...

A commuter is accustomed to leaving his house between 7:30 and 8:00 AM, the drive to the station taking between 20 and 30 minutes. It is assumed that the departure time and length of trip are independent random variables, uniformly distributed over their respective intervals. There are two trains which he can take: the first leaves precisely at 8:05 AM and takes exactly 35 minutes for the trip, and the second leaves at 8:25 AM and takes 30 minutes. (a)...

The plant managers of ABC Corporation's five plants have met at a common location at 8:00 am every Monday morning for 20 years. The people serving as plant managers have changed several times during this period, but the meeting has not. Every Monday morning all five plant managers are seated around a conference table in the home office. It is not uncommon for the managers to have no pressing business to discuss and the meeting amounts to nothing more than...

ABC Company operates two service departments, quality control and maintenance, and two production departments, cutting and finishing. Service department costs are allocated to production departments using a sequential two-stage allocation method. Quality control department costs are allocated on the basis of number of inspections and maintenance department costs are allocated on the basis of machine hours. In the second stage, departmental overhead rates for the two production departments are calculated using direct labor hours as the activity for each department....

A fuel injector assembly plant that runs two shifts per day simulated to estimate throughput. To validate the model, the resulting simulated throughput will be compared against the observed system behavior. By searching the previous year’s database records, it was estimated that the average throughput of the fuel injector assembly plant was 35.6 on a given day. Eight independent replications of the model were run, each of 30 days’ duration, with the following results for average throughput of the assembly...

Regional Airlines is establishing a new telephone system for handling flight reservations. During the 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM time period, calls to the reservation agent occur randomly at an average rate of one call every 3.75 minutes. Historical service time data show that a reservation agent spends an average of 3 minutes with each customer. The waiting line model assumptions of Poisson arrivals and exponential service times appear reasonable for the telephone reservation system. At a planning meeting, Regional’s...
