Download or read book A Study of the Queueing Systems M G 1 and GI M 1 written by Uggappakodi Narayan Bhat and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-12-19 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study has grown out of a part of the author's thesis "Some Simple and Bulk Queueing Systems: A Study of Their Transient Behavior" submitted to the University of Western Australia (1964) and a course on Queueing Theory given to graduate students in the Operations Research Group of Case Institute of Technology, Cleveland, Ohio. The one semester course (approximately 35 hours) consisted of the following topics. (i) Some of the important special queues such as M/M/s, M/D/s, M/Ek/l etc., with emphasis on the different methods employed in the transient as well as steady state solution. (ii) Imbedded Markov chain analysis of M/G/l and GI/M/l as given in the joint paper of the author and N.U. Prabhu as well as the papers of D.G. Kendall. [All notations and papers are referred to later in the notes]. (iii) The contents of this memorandum. The author feels that such a course prepares the students adequately for an advanced course in Queueing Theory involving topics on Waiting Times, the General Queue GI/G/l and other ramifications such as Priorities, etc. A few words regarding the approach adopted in this study may not be out of place. So far, the time dependent behavior of queueing systems has not found a place in courses given outside the Department of Mathematics.

Download or read book Science in Management written by C. S. Chedzey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-04-17 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1970. Management consultants in the United Kingdom are often accused of cloaking their activities in secrecy. The confidential nature of consulting work often precludes the publication of case examples and it is only occasionally that press reports appear summarizing particular studies. Consulting firms, however, are in the unique position of gaining experience over the whole range of industry, commerce and government, and consequently have a full opportunity for spear-heading new developments and gathering technical know-how of wide value to managers. Science in Management outlines the methods used by a consulting firm specializing in operational research and computer science and describes numerous case examples taken from a wide range of industries and from the public sector. These examples cover tactical problems, problems which overlap functional boundaries within a company and a few major projects of a strategic nature. The aim of the twenty contributors has been to explain in relatively simple terms, some of the more important techniques and to illustrate by practical examples, the wide scope of the management science approach at all problem levels. The book will be helpful to all those seeking to apply science in management. It is written primarily for managers and those studying modern management methods, but parts of the book will be of interest to specialists as well.

Download or read book Capacity Oriented Analysis and Design of Production Systems written by M.B.M. de Koster and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In production systems there are often capacity oriented performance objectives, like a desired total throughput, a desired average throughput time and average work in-process. Such performance objectives are expressed in "units of products" rather than in specific product types. This book presents a way of modeling and analyzing production systems so, that such capacity oriented performance criteria can be measured in a simple way. The model consists of three basic elements. 1. The product types in the system are aggregated. 2. The product flow is modeled as being continuous. 3. The machines in the model have a finite number of states. Each state has a phase-type sojourn distribution and an associated production speed. Transitions between the states are determined by an irreducible Markov transition matrix. In the book both the mathematical properties and the practical applicabilities of the model are investigated. The model is extensively analyzed for various layouts, like flow lines, assembly disassembly systems and networks where parallel machines share common buffers. Furthermore various ways of controlling the product flow in the model are investigated, such as Base Stock Control, Workload Control, control by finite buffers and control by the Reorder Point System. An approximation technique is developed for a quick estimation of performance measures like throughput and average work-in-process, for networks with layouts and control techniques like those above-mentioned.

Download or read book Queuing Models in Industry and Business written by Aliakbar Montazer Haghighi and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2008 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies on queueing models and their publication in professional journals and textbooks have been sparse over the past eleven decades. Collections of some of these studies have appeared either as single volumes or just chapters of single volumes and/or monographs. This book is an attempt to present some queuing models, especially those applicable in business and industry, in a style between a monograph and a textbook. Also the need of researchers and practitioners for a handbook-type text and the current lack of it explain the need for a book of this kind. Most of the basic terminologies and concepts that appear throughout the text are introduced in a systematic way in the first two chapters; nevertheless, previous exposition to a first course in probability and statistics is advised for later chapters.
