An industrial system is represented as a four-input, three-stage queuing network in this paper. The four-input queuing network receives orders from clients, and the orders are waiting to be served. Each order comprises (i) time of occurrence of the orders, and (ii) quantity of items to be delivered in each order. The objective of this paper is to compute the optimal path which produces the leas...

The purpose of this study was to determine an effective nurse schedule for the Emergency Department (ED) of York Hospital (York, PA). The goal was to minimize the patients’ average waiting time, subject to various requirements from the hospital and the nurses. An ARENA simulation model was built to model the ED’s current staffing plan and to evaluate alternative schedules proposed by a custom-b...

Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known. The universe is full of magical things, patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper. Why are waiting times interesting? While waiting times in our everyday life are usually associated with boredom, the statistics of waiting times contains scientifically interesting information about (1) the mean rates of event occurrence and (2) the ran...

Currently, the proportion of independent travel is increasing in Japan. Therefore, earlier studies supporting itinerary planning have been presented. However, these only insufficiently considered rural tourism. For example, tourist often use public transportation during trips areas, although it difficult for a to plan an transportation. Even if can be planned, will entail long waiting times at ...

Queues that involve waiting as a model for analyzing the possible delay have been studied for past several decades. The average total time spent in the system and the average total time spent in queue are two of the most fundamental quantities describing a queueing system's behavior. In addition, there are other important factors that will affect the delay as well. For example, the environment ...
