Waiting line model applications in manufacturing

International Journal of Production Economics, 1998
Improving manufacturing and attaining manufacturing excellence to gain competitive advantage has attracted a lot of attention in the last few years. Many manufacturing operations and many of the technological advances in manufacturing systems like FMS, AGVs, GT, CIM, cellular manufacturing, AS/RS and JIT production systems admit modelling via waiting ...

Decision Sciences, 1971
ABSTRACTThe 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

Economic Models for Industrial Waiting Line Problems

Management Science, 1963
Studies of industrial waiting line problems typically involve determining the proper balance between the amount of service and the amount of waiting for that service. This paper presents some basic results for the case where the study is to be based upon fundamental cost considerations and the assumption of an infinite calling population. Included are

Strategic Decision Making Using Waiting Line Models

International Journal of Strategic Decision Sciences, 2019
This 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
