And I would like to know what it is all about in the excercise, because I don't have at hand the text book 2012. Otherwise it is a bit complicated to help you.

Shoppers enter the model with a randomly generated shopping list and pick up all their groceries from the appropriate shelves. Some shoppers go to the deli, where they choose their meat and have it sliced by the worker. When they are finished shopping, they travel to the shortest checkout line to pay for their groceries.There are three definable periods of time for shopping:

  • The high volume period, when the most shoppers with the longest shopping lists are in the store.
  • Lunch time, when business is less brisk but the demand on the deli counter is higher.
  • Off-hours, when the least number of shoppers arrive.
  • The various periods are characterized by the shopper entry rate, the number of items they shop for, and the percent of their shopping list that might contain deli orders.
