Queues (waiting lines)
Non-people queues
Great inefficiencies also occur because of other kinds of waiting than people standing in line.
For example, making machines wait to be repaired may result in lost production. may result in lost production.
Vehicles (including ships and trucks) that need to wait to be unloaded may delay subsequent shipments.
Airplanes waiting to take off or land may disrupt later travel schedules.

Non-people queues
Delays in telecommunication transmissions due to saturated lines may cause data glitches.
Causing manufacturing jobs to wait to be performed may disrupt subsequent production. performed may disrupt subsequent production.
Delaying service jobs beyond their due dates may result in lost future business.

Queueing Theory
Queueing theory is the study of waiting in all these various forms.
It uses queueing models to represent the various types of queueing systems
(systems that involve queues of some kind) that arise in practice.

Queueing Theory
Formulas for each model indicate how the corresponding queueing system should perform, including the average amount of waiting that will occur, under a variety of waiting that will occur, under a variety of circumstances.

Queueing ModelsTherefore, these queueing models are very
helpful for determining how to operate aqueueing system in the most effective way. Providing too much service capacity to operate the system involves excessive
costs. But not providing enough service capacity
results in excessive waiting and all its unfortunate consequences.

Queueing Models
The models enable finding anappropriate balance between the cost of service and the amount of waiting.

the infinite case, this assumption is often made.
20/02/2011 9Ileana Castillo, Ph.D.
The statistical pattern by which customers are generated over time must also be specified.
The common assumption is that they are generated according to a Poisson process;
i.e., the number of customers generated until any specific time has a Poisson distribution.
This case is the one where arrivals to the queueingsystem occur randomly but at a certain fixed mean rate, regardless of how many customers already are there (so the size of the input source is infinite).
20/02/2011 10Ileana Castillo, Ph.D.
An equivalent assumption is that theprobability distribution of the time between
consecutive arrivals is an exponential distribution.
The time between consecutive arrivals is referred to as the interarrival time.referred to as the interarrival time.
Any unusual assumptions about the behavior of arriving customers must also be specified.
One example is balking, where the customer refuses to enter the system and is lost if the queue is too long.20/02/2011 11Ileana Castillo, Ph.D.

The time elapsed from the commencement of service to its completion for a customer
at a service facility is referred to as the service time.
A model of a particular queueing system A model of a particular queueing system must specify the probability distribution of service times for each server (and possibly for different types of customers), although it is common to assume the same distribution for all servers.
20/02/2011 16Ileana Castillo, Ph.D.
The service-time distribution that is most frequently assumed in practice (largely because it is far more tractable than any other) is the exponential distribution
Other important service-time distributionsare the degenerate distribution (constant
service time) and the Erlang (gamma) distribution

Certain notation also is required to describe steady-state results.
When a queueing system has recently begun operation, the state of the system (number of customers in the system) will (number of customers in the system) will be greatly affected by the initial state and by the time that has since elapsed.
The system is said to be in a transient condition
20/02/2011 24Ileana Castillo, Ph.D.
However, after sufficient time haselapsed, the state of the system becomes
essentially independent of the initial state and the elapsed time (except under unusual circumstances).
The system has now essentially reached a steady-state condition, where the probability distribution of the state of the system remains the same (the steady-state or stationary distribution) over time.
20/02/2011 25Ileana Castillo, Ph.D.
Queueing theory has tended to focus largely on the steady-state condition, partially because the transient case is more difficult analytically.
The following notation assumes that thesystem is in a steady-state condition:
