Presentation Transcript

  1. Service Manager Forecasting (traffic, orders, …) • Determine the Level of Service (Newsboy) • Estimate Manpower Requirements • Shift Scheduling (LP, IP) • Assigning Shifts to Workers (Assignment, LP) • Job Sequencing and Scheduling

  2. Determine the Level of Service • Choose Service Criteria (t.d. Average Waiting Time or P(wait>T) • P(wait) or P(balking) • “Newsboy Problem” • Probability Distribution of Demand • Estimate Cost Under & Over • Usually difficult => Service Level

  3. Manpower Requirements • Experience • Statistics • Queueing Theory • QTP, Armann Ingolfsson • Simulation: • @Risk, Crystal Ball • Simul8 • ProModel

  4. Queueing Theory • Analytical Models of Waiting Systems • Markov-assumptions, i.e. expon (both arrivals & service) <=> Poisson • Memoryless Process! • Open/Closed System (“Limited Source”) • Wait/Balk (“Limited Queue”) • Steady State: Arrivals < Capacity

  5. Open Systems, M/M/s • M/M/1 og M/M/s TEMPLATE.XLS • Given: Arrival  og cap. s*µ ,Ws=1/µ • Steady State: U = Ls/s =  / s*µ < 1 • Key Results: L, Lq, W, Wq • L = Lq + Ls, W = Wq + Ws • Little: L = *W og Lq= *Wq

  6. Optimizing Waiting Systems • Given (beside , µ): Cs og Cq • Find economical no of servers s • Difficult to estimate Cq, therefore service level • Other models, see G/G/s (approx) etc • LIMITED_Q_TEMPLATE.XLS • LIMITED_SOURCE_TEMPLATE.XLS

  7. Simulating Waiting Systems • Simulation more realistic, “you can always simulate”! • Not limited to Markov assumptions • Sometimes expensive model building • Sometimes too great expectations • MULTISERVERSIM.XLS • Simul8, ProModel, …

  8. Shift Scheduling • Scheduling shifts on days/weeks • See p. 148 in Rardin • Based on known manpower requirements • Ex p. 142 í W&A, WorkerScheduling.xls, Work 5 days, off 2 days • Determine how many start at time t • Min no of employees needed, LP

  9. Assigning shifts or tasks • “Assignment”, see p 235- in W&A • Transport Model with all RHS = 1 • Assigning jobs to men/machines • Swim Teams, Exam Shedules, Fishing Vessels Landings, … See p 58 in Rardin • “Crew Scheduling”, See p 572 in Rardin • Assigning Shifts: Employees grade shifts

  10. Job Sequencing • See p 609- in Rardin • Orders or Batches • Given: Processing Times, Due Dates • Criteria: Flow and/or Due Dates • Rules: FCFS, SPT, Slack, EDD • Complexity: n jobs to m machines, min setup time, …
