Queueing theory is the mathematical study of waiting lines‚ or queues.[1] In queueing theory a model is constructed so that queue lengths and waiting times can be predicted.[1] Queueing theory started with research by Agner Krarup Erlang when he created models to describe the Copenhagen telephone exchange.[1] The ideas have since seen applications includingtelecommunications‚[2] traffic engineering‚ computing[3] and the design of factories‚ shops‚ offices and hospitals.[4] Contents [hide]

Random Early Detection (RED) [21] has the potential to overcome the problems discovered in Drop Tail. RED is a congestion avoidance algorithm in the network routers/switches proposed by Floyd and Jacobson [13]. Random Early Detect‚ also called Random Early Drop (RED) was designed with the objectives to • minimize packet loss and queuing delay. • congestion avoidance. • avoid global synchronization of sources. • maintain high link utilization. • remove biases against bursty sources. • bound on

start-up effects. Standard queueing models do not incorporate changes like rush hours – Different models are needed for different times of the day. The “lost customer” rate = λ x Pb • Effective arrival rate = throughput rate = λ x (1-Pb). The key performance measure is Pb the probability that the system is full & arriving customers cannot get in. If Cs is the cost per hour per server‚ & Cw is the cost per hour per customer waiting‚ then the cost per hour of running a queueing system with s servers is

Service Outsourcing Yong-Pin Zhou∗ and Z. Justin Ren† February 2‚ 2010 Abstract This article reviews the Operations Management (OM) research on service outsourcing‚ a common practice among today’s businesses. We focus on recent literature in three areas: capacity planning and supplier coordination‚ service outsourcing under information asymmetry‚ and quality concerns. Additionally‚ a mathematical framework is presented that can be used to analyze service outsourcing supply chains. We conclude with
