E N D
Assumptions of the Basic Simple Queuing Model • Arrivals are served on a first-come, first-served basis (FCFS) • Arrivals are independent of preceding arrivals • Arrival rates are described by the Poisson probability distribution, and customers come from a very large population • Service times vary from one customer to another, and are independent of each other; the average service time is known • Service times are described by the negative exponential probability distribution • The service rate is greater than the arrival rate
Types of Queuing Models(A/B/C notation) • A: probability distribution of time between arrivals • B: probability distribution of service times • C: number of parallel servers • M = exponential distribution of times (or equivalent Poisson distribution of rates) • D = deterministic or constant time • G = general distribution with a mean and variance (e.g., normal, uniform, or any empirical distribution) • Ek = Erlang distribution with shape parameter k (if k =1, Erlang equivalent to M; if k = ∞, Erlang equivalent to D)
Types of Queuing Models(A/B/C notation) • Simple (M/M/1) • Example: Information booth at mall, line at Starbucks • Multi-channel (M/M/S) • Example: Airline ticket counter, tellers at bank • Constant Service (M/D/1) • Example: Automated car wash • Limited Population • Example: Department with only 7 copiers to service
Simple (M/M/1) Model Characteristics • Type: Single-channel, single-phase system • Input source: Infinite; no balks, no reneging • Arrival distribution: Poisson • Queue: Unlimited; single line • Queue discipline: FIFO (FCFS) • Service distribution: Negative exponential • Relationship: Independent service & arrival • Service rate > arrival rate
= Average number of units in the system L s - 1 = Average time in the system W s - 2 = Average number of units in the queue L q ( - ) = Average time waiting in the queue W q ( - ) = System utilization Simple (M/M/1) Model Equations
Probability of 0 units in system, i.e., system idle: = - = - P 1 1 0 Probability of more than k units in system: ( ) k+1 l = P n>k Where n is the number of units in the system Simple (M/M/1) Probability Equations
Multichannel (M/M/S) Model Characteristics • Type: Multichannel system • Input source: Infinite; no balks, no reneging • Arrival distribution: Poisson • Queue: Unlimited; multiple lines • Queue discipline: FIFO (FCFS) • Service distribution: Negative exponential • Relationship: Independent service & arrival • Individual server service rates > arrival rate
(M/M/S) Equations Probability of zero people or units in the system: Average number of people or units in the system: Average time a unit spends in the system:
P0 = Probability of 0 Units in Multiple-Channel System(needed for other calculations) n! = 1 x 2 x 3 x 4 x……..x (n-1) x n n0 = 1; 0! = 1
(M/M/S) Equations Average number of people or units waiting for service: Average time a person or unit spends in the queue
Constant Service Rate (M/D/1) Model Characteristics • Type: Single-channel, single-phase system • Input source: Infinite; no balks, no reneging • Arrival distribution: Poisson • Queue: Unlimited; single line • Queue discipline: FIFO (FCFS) • Service distribution: Constant • Relationship: Independent service & arrival • Service rate > arrival rate
Average number of people or units waiting for service: Average time a person or unit spends in the queue Average number of people or units in the system: Average time a unit spends in the system: (M/D/1) Equations
Limited Population Model Characteristics • Type: Single-channel, single-phase system • Input source: Limited; no balks, no reneging • Arrival distribution: Poisson • Queue: Limited; single line • Queue discipline: FIFO (FCFS) • Service distribution: Negative exponential • Relationship: Independent service & arrival • Service rate > arrival rate
