The Fundamentals Queuing models
Collection of entities kept in order Addition of entity at the rear of the terminal and removal at the front terminal What is a queue?
Used to approximate a real queuing situation to be analyzed mathematically • Allow a number of useful performance measures to be determined: • Average number in the queue • Average time spent in queue Queuing model
Population Arrival Service/Servers Queue Output Elements
FIFO (First in First out) LIFO (Last in First out) SIRO (Serve in Random Order) Priority Queue Queuing discipline
Parallel Series Queuing system characteristics
Parallel servers Customers in line
series servers Customers waiting in line
Time Averages: L = expected no. of customers in the system LQ = expected no. of customers in the queue LS = expected no. of customers in service P (all idle) = probability that all servers are idle P (all busy) = probability that all servers are budy Queuing relationships
Customer Averages: W = expected time spent in the system WQ = expected time spent in the queue WS = expected time spent in service Queuing relationships
λ = average rate at w/c customers enter the system L = expected number of customers in the system W = expected time a customer spends in the system Therefore: L = λW LQ =λWQ LS =λWS Little’s formula
Single server model • = arrival rate • 1/= mean time between arrivals • = service rate • 1/= mean service time per customer • = traffic intensity = / • x 100 = % service utilization
Typical Front Desk Queuing: 30 customers per hour Each representative spends 1.5 minutes/customer Manager’s objective is to decide whether to improve the system or not Example
30 customers per hour = 0.5 cx/min 1.5 mins/cx = 1 cx / 1.5 mins/cx = 0.67 cx/min Excel File solution
M/M/s model M – means that interarrival times are exponentially distributed M- service times for each server are exponentially distributed s- denotes the number of servers Multiple Server Mode
Customers arrive at a rate of 150 customers per hour Branch employs 6 tellers Average service time is 2 minutes to serve each customer All customers performs all tasks Customers arrived and finds 6 tellers busy serving First Come First Serve fashion Manager’s objective = to find the “best” numbers of tellers given that tellers are paid $8 per hour Queueing at a Country Bank
