Production and Operations Management, 2006
We perform an analysis of various queueing systems with an emphasis on estimating a single performance metric. This metric is defined to be the percentage of customers whose actual waiting time was less than their individual waiting time threshold. We label this metric the Percentage of Satisfied Customers (PSC.) This threshold is a reflection of the ...

STAFFING SERVICE ACTIVITIES WITH WAITING LINE MODELS
Decision Sciences, 1971ABSTRACTThe problem of scheduling service activities and variable tasks has traditionally been solved subjectively. The lack of objective approaches has been due to the absence of formal standards and delay costs and by the high cost of examination and measurement. Some recent developments in work measurement concepts may permit the development of more

Strategic Decision Making Using Waiting Line Models
International Journal of Strategic Decision Sciences, 2019This article considers issues facing management and their decision processes to deal with them effectively. The first develops an optimal strategy for leasing equipment in which there are three available management options, the criterion being to minimize the total cost of use. The first option is to stay with the status quo, the second to lease faster

Waiting line or queuing systems are pervasive. Many of us remember the long lineups in front of stores in the Soviet Union and Vietnam, and we have all experienced lineups in banks and supermarkets, but there are many more instances with waiting lines: think, for instance, about traffic lights, where drivers line up and wait, files that wait for ...

USE OF WAITING LINE MODEL IN CONSTRUCTION
International Journal of Advanced Technology in Civil Engineering, 2013This paper represents the improvement in operational productivity of Excavation by using Griffi’s Waiting Line Model which is one of the mathematical tool to improve the planning process in construction industry. The objective of this paper is to do sizing and matching based on zero idle time for both prime mover as well as associated unit to obtain ...

Improving Retail Manpower Planning with a Quasi-Subjective Waiting Line Model
Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science, 1980One of the most fruitful approaches for increasing marketing productivity is through more efficient manpower planning. This is particularly true in the labor intensive sectors of marketing such as retailing, particularly the retail department store. Waiting line models offer a high degree of potential for more effective manpower planning in the retail ...

Journal of College & University Foodservice, 1992
A model using wailing the principles was developed to assist with foodservice facilities design. The number of seals needed is calculated. Using values for area per seat previously published the size of the dining area can then be determined. The number of seats needed is dependent upon the meal patterns served, arrival rates of customers, turnover ...

Serial production lines with waiting time limits: Bernoulli reliability model
IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management, 2018Production systems with waiting time constraints are frequently encountered in semiconductor, automotive, battery, food, and many other manufacturing industries. Under the waiting time constraints, the residence time of in-process inventories is constrained by a predetermined time limit.

Modeling and simulation of customer dissatisfaction in waiting lines and its effects
SIMULATION, 2016A combination of discrete-event and agent-based simulation analysis using a field-tested psychological model for evaluating the effects of customer dissatisfaction in waiting lines beyond balking and reneging was developed. The proposed model assessed the effects that different psychological parameter values and business decisions in waiting lines ...
