An easy way to understand Queuing Model formulas is to understand that L refers to Number of items while W refers to time. q refers to the queue and s refers to the system. So Lq refers to the number of units in the queue (waiting line). Ls refers to the number of items in the system (queue and service). Write out the formulas for the following: a. Average Wait time in the Queue b. Average Wait time in the System c. Average number of units in the Queue d. Average number of units in the System e. System utilization f. Probability of zero customers in the system
Many of a bank’s customers use its automatic teller machine to transact business after normal banking hours. During the early evening hours in the summer months, customers arrive at a certain location at the rate of one every other minute. This can be modeled using a Poisson distribution. Each customer spends an average of 94 seconds completing his or her transactions. Transaction time is exponentially distributed. a. Determine the average time customers spend at the machine, including waiting in line and completing transactions. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) Average time minutes b. Determine the probability that a customer will not have to wait upon arriving at the automatic teller machine. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Probability c. Determine the average number of customers waiting to use the machine. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Average number customers
In a harbour, there are 2 landing places. Ships arrive at a rate of 8 per day (exponentially distributed). Cranes at a landing places, load or unload the ships with the rate of 4.2 per day. If all places are occupied, a ship has to wait for one to be available. The harbour company makes a profit of $250 from a ship that is not waited. For each day in the queue, ships pay $25 less. The management of the harbour considers two options to improve the system: Option I: A new landing place could be built for $10,000. Option II: Existing landing places could be improved to serve 4.9 ships per day for $15,000 a. Calculate the average queue length for the current system. b. Which option should be picked to improve the profit per year? c. If the improvement options could be implemented together, would you recommend it? Why?
Waiting Line ApproximationLet’s consider an example of a call center that takes orders for a mail-order business. During the peak period, the average time between call arrivals (¯X a ) is 0.5 minutes with a standard deviation (Sa) of 0.203 minutes. The average time to service a call (¯ X s ) is 4 minutes and the standard deviation of the service time (Ss) is 2.5 minutes. If the call center is using nine operators to service calls, how long would you expect customers to wait before being serviced? What would be the impact of adding an additional operator?
In an M/MA queueing system, the arrival rate is 8 customers per hour and the service rate is 11 customers per hour.

What is the expected waiting time (in hours) for the system (W)? Waiting time(in hours)

Explain the concept of queue and queue theory or waiting line theory and its importance in business A bank has only one counter for its customers. Suppose that the customers to the bank arrive at random with exponential inter arrival time and their mean inter arrival time is 10 minutes. Suppose the counter takes on an average 15 minutes to serve the customer and this also follow an exponential distribution. What percentage of time the bank counter is busy? On the average, how many customers are in the system? On the average, how many customers are in the queue waiting for the service? How long a customer will take to be out of the service system after being served? How long a customer to wait before being served? What is the probability that there are at most three customers in the system?
