Week 10

Response: 1

 A company will make an effort to employ the appropriate amount of service staff to help service the anticipated amount of customers during a time period.  Waiting lines form because, although a company may have ample means to serve its customers, they arrive at random times throughout the course of business and the time it takes to help a customer, from start to finish, varies in each situation.  Queuing formulas are used in the attempt to keep wait times to a minimum for customers and provide better service, which might increase revenue.  In certain instances customers will decide not to wait.  There are different models for dealing with waiting and queue lines.  The different models will take into consideration the arrival of customers in a given period, the number of customers that are able to be served in a given period, and the number of available people to help the customer when they get there.  The queue discipline is the way that the customers are served.  Models assume a first come, first served structure. The calling population is the source of the customers.  This could be infinite or finite, depending on the circumstance.  Most stores have an infinite population because they usually do not restrict their customer base.  Different models include single server, multiple server, those with finite calling populations and those with finite queuing.  If a company decides to use a queue system to reduce wait times they can expect to benefit from helping more customers, which will increase income, but they should consider the extra cost at which they are adding staff or machinery into the formula.

Queuing theory is simply a scientific study of waiting in lines. It entail customers like people or information. They mostly form in a situation where there exist inadequate resources for giving service. Queuing models are mainly put to use in both software and organization to regulate the perfect technique of using insufficient resources. The models are reliable and as they can provide answers to problems like the possibility that clients will wait in the line. Another common question is regular waiting time for every customer. It means that the models can analyze the standings of the waiting line, proper waiting time and some other issues that help in comprehending service systems.
Moreover, queuing models enable solving waiting line situations by the generation of arrivals for a service structure. The model checks the size of the population, design and the behavior of appearances. The format is considered to be either unlimited or limited. It is considered unlimited in a situation where the number of clients is a small share of all possible arrivals. A lot of queuing models work based on unlimited population. In addition, the model checks on the design of arrival by working on a known schedule (Roy, Debjit & René). The design is a random where they work independently of each other. The queuing model also works on the assumption that all clients will be patient on the queue until they are served.
In summary, the application of queuing theory has advanced well-organized queuing systems. The use of queuing models has improved queuing processes, pricing, enrollment solutions and arrival management techniques. It has also reduced clients waiting times and developed the total number of clients that can get service. In short, the model helps create a well-organized and cost-effective workflow that permits the user to advance traffic flow.
