3 trauma bays Trauma center moves to diversion status once all servers are busy (incoming patients are directed to other locations) Figure 7.1.: Process flow diagram for trauma center
Given Pm(r) we can compute: • Time per day that system has to deny access • Flow units lost = 1/a * Pm (r) Analyzing Loss Systems: Finding Pm(r) m • Define r = p / a • Example: r= 2 hours/ 3 hours r=0.67 • Recall m=3 • Use Erlang Loss Table • Find that P3 (0.67)=0.0255 r = p / a

Waitingproblem Loss problem Pure waitingproblem, all customersare perfectly patient. All customers enter the process,some leave due totheir impatience Customers do notenter the process oncebuffer has reached a certain limit Customers are lostonce all servers arebusy Same if customers are patient Same if buffer size=0 Same if buffer size is extremely large Figure 7.8.: Different types of variability problems
