Winter Park Hotel Donna Shader‚ Manager of the Winter Park Hotel‚ is considering how to restructure the front desk to reach an optimum level of staff efficiency and guest service. At present‚ the hotel has five clerks on duty‚ each with a separate waiting line‚ during the peak check-in time of 3:00 P.M. to 5:00 P.M. Observation of arrivals during this time shows that an average of 90 guests arrive each hour (although there is no upward limit on the number that could arrive at any given time).

QUEUING THEORY INTRODUCTION Waiting lines are the most frequently encountered problems in everyday life. For example‚ queue at a cafeteria‚ library‚ bank‚ etc. Common to all of these cases are the arrivals of objects requiring service and the attendant delays when the service mechanism is busy. Waiting lines cannot be eliminated completely‚ but suitable techniques can be used to reduce the waiting time of an object in the system. A long waiting line may result in loss of customers to an organization

Introduction Being in a queue (waiting line) is an inevitable fact of our daily life‚ such as waiting for checkout at a supermarket‚ or waiting to make a bank deposit. Queuing theory‚ started with research by Agner Krarup Erlang‚ is used to examine the impact of management decisions on these waiting lines (Anderson et.al‚ 2009). A basic Queuing Model structure consists of three main characteristics‚ namely behaviour of arrivals‚ queue discipline‚ and service mechanism (Hillier and Lieberman‚ 2001)

Demand Varies by Market Segment Random fluctuations usually are caused by factors beyond management control. However analysis will sometimes reveal that a predictable demand cycle for one segment is concealed within a broader‚ seemingly random pattern. This fact illustrates the importance of breaking down demands on a “segment-by-segment” basis. For instance‚ a repair and maintenance shop that services industrial electrical equipment may already know a certain proportion of its work consists of

One of the expected gains from studying queuing systems is to review the efficiency of the models in terms of utilization and waiting length‚ hence increasing the number

USING QUEUING ANALYSIS AND COMPUTER SIMULATION MODELING TO REDUCE WAITING TIME IN THE HOSPITAL ADMITTING DEPARTMENT Igor Georgievskiy‚ Zhanna Georgievskaya‚ William Pinney (Alcorn State University) Donald McWilliams (Texas Wesleyan University) ABSTRACT The Admitting Department is one of the most highly congested hospital services‚ and faces a great deal of pressure‚ compared with other components of the health care system. Delays in the AD system may result in difficulties of scheduling services

The purpose of this analysis is to estimate the optimal number of cashiers that should be kept open in a retail store to minimize costs and‚ consequently‚ maximize profits. To conduct this study‚ we have chosen the largest retailer in the world; Wal-Mart. Everyone has experienced waiting in line‚ whether at a retail store‚ on the phone for technical help‚ at the doctor’s office or in the drive-through lane of a bank. Sometimes‚ it is a pleasant experience‚ but many times it can be extremely frustrating

The desk is staffed eight hours per day. The dean wants to know how the facility is working. Statistics show that students arrive at a rate of four per hour‚ and the distribution is approximately Poisson. Assistance time averages 10 minutes‚ distributed

Waiting line management: unit 11. The waiting line is a list of customers who remains waiting for getting certain goods or services from service center. Understanding waiting lines or queues and learning how to manage them is one of the most important areas in operation management. In organizations or in personal life‚ there are examples of processes which generates waiting lines or queues. Such waiting lines occur because the current services facility is insufficient to provide service at that
