1. According to Little’s law, under process 1, the average processing time would be 500 / 1000 = 0.5 month or 0.5*30 = 15 days. Under process 2, the average requests undergoing processing is LIR + LA + LB = 375. So, the average processing time is 375 / 1000 = 11.25 days. Therefore, the average processing time was reduced. For approved requests, we can calculate the average processing time as (200*0.25*0.7 + 200*0.25*0.10 + 25*0.7 + 150*0.10) / 200 = 0.3625 = 10.875 days. Hence, we see that the processing
