Patient queues are prevalent in healthcare and wait time is one measure of access to care. We illustrate Queueing Theory-an analytical tool that has provided many insights to service providers when designing new service systems and managing existing ones.

A year ago Dr. Jacek Kurczewski asked me to take part in a symposium which he organized with the Polish Sociological Association, on the sociology of everyday life. The subject of my session was to be the sociology of the queue. As a psychologist I could, of course, interpret the phenomenon of the queue in terms of the interdependence of individual ...

Abstract Suppose now that the random walker of Exercise (1) delays its steps in the following way. When at the point n, it waits a random length of time having the exponential distribution with parameter 0n before moving to its next position; different ‘holding times’ are independent of each other and of further information concerning ...

Customers of different priorities are arriving at a counter in accordance with a Poisson process. The customers are served by a single server in order of priority and for each priority in order of arrival. Two cases are considered: (i) service with privileged interruptions and (ii) service without interruption.

Kennedy (1972) showed that the standard single-server queueing model is continuous. These results are extended to the standard multi-server model here. Even when there is only one server, an additional condition is needed for the queue length process.

The behaviour in equilibrium of networks of queues is studied. Equilibrium distributions are obtained and in certain cases it is shown that the state of an individual queue is independent of the state of the rest of the network. The processes considered in this paper are irreversible; however, the method used to establish equilibrium distributions is ...
