Capacity Multiple Flow-1
Capacity Multiple Flow-1
22 applicants enter a DMV per hour. All applicants see the receptionist first.
50% of the applicants are sent directly to the Issue-License station where a
new photo and license are one. 30% of applicants should first take an Eye-
Exam. The remaining 20% of the applicants must first take a computer-based
test on one of the computers.
Only 80% of the applicants who take the eye exam pass the exam. The
remaining leave. The applicants who pass the eye exam are also directed to
the computer-based test.
Out of all the applicants who take the computer-based test (coming either
directly through the receptionist or after the eye exam), 10% fail it. The rest
who passes the multiple-choice test proceed to the issue-license section.
Capacity is 44 applicants per hour at receptionist, 10 per hour in eye exam,
12 per hour in computer test, and 42 per hour in Issue-License.
