CHAPTER 18 Management of WAITING LINES KEY IDEAS 1. Waiting lines are an important consideration in capacity planning. Waiting lines tie up additional resources (waiting space‚ time‚ etc.); they decrease the level of customer service: and they require additional capacity to reduce them. 2. Waiting lines occur whenever demand for service exceeds capacity (supply). Even in systems that are underloaded‚ waiting lines tend to form if arrival and service patterns are highly variable because
