SGE’s Profitable Third Wharf? Case Synopsis In 1949‚ Canadian grain shipping company‚ Superior Grain Elevator‚ Inc (SGE) was secondary in the grain shipping industry in Canada to the Saskatchewan Grain Cooperative. Local interest brought out SGE in 1974 and five years later‚ SGE shipped a million tons of grain during a year for the first time ever but‚ since that year‚ volumes of grain has been inconsistent. In 1990‚ SGE purchased property along the waterfront and has yet to see the needed return

(i.e. arrival and service rate)‚ cycle time and work in process (i.e. number of customers/jobs in the system). This relationship has been shown to be valid for a wide class of queuing models. The theorem states that the expected number of customers (N) for a system in steady state can be determined using the following equation: (1) Here‚ λ is the average customer arrival rate and T is the average service time for a customer. Consider the example of a restaurant where the customer’s arrival rate (λ)

The department’s international visitor target for this year is 5.5 million‚ considerably more than the 4.3 million international tourist arrivals recorded last year. The top sources of international travelers to the Philippines have been South Korea‚ the US‚ Japan‚ and China. The volume of domestic travelers‚ which was 40.7 million in 2012‚ is expected to increase to 44.1 million in 2013

Arrival. 3. Occupancy. 4. Departure. I shall discuss the importance of each guest cycle; 1. The pre-arrival stage is when the guest selects a Hotel to utilize. The guest’s choice is affected by a number of influences such as the guest’s own opinions and experiences in past hotels‚ the guest

Call arrival rates vary across days. 50% of days are “heavy 1”‚ with per-minute arrival rates of 2 for type-1 calls and 1.6 for type-2 calls (NB: The mean inter-arrival time is the inverse of the arrival rate); and the other 50% of days are “heavy 2”‚ with arrival rates reversed (1.6 for type-1 calls and 2 for type-2 calls).

To consider the impact that vehicle threshold policies have on reserve and walk-in customer waiting times‚ we model a rental depot as a multi-class non-work-conserving semi-open queue with stochastic inputs. For exponential and deterministic service time distributions‚ we identify the optimal threshold quantity for stationary customer arrivals using closed-form expressions for the expected waiting times of both customer classes. For non-stationary customer arrivals‚ we develop
