Understanding the Roles of the Customer and the Operation for Better Queue Management

Davis, Mark M.; Heineke, Janelle - In: International Journal of Operations & Production Management 14 (1994) 5, pp. 21-34

Queuing, a familiar element of most service delivery systems, has the potential for significantly affecting the … different queuing configurations has been previously addressed, as have the issues of managing customers′ expectations and … perceptions regarding their queuing experiences. This earlier research has identified several factors which can affect a customer …

Queues and the Power of Simulation: Helping with Business Decisions and Problems

Proctor, Robert A. - In: Management Decision 32 (1994) 1, pp. 50-55

Considers computer simulation as a method for studying the behaviour of business systems under a variety of assumed conditions for analysing the simultaneous interaction of many variables to produce valuable insights into problems. Looks at how simulations can help to provide answers to complex...

Coping with the Loss of Pooling Synergy in Cellular Manufacturing Systems

Suresh, Nallan C.; Meredith, Jack R. - In: Management Science 40 (1994) 4, pp. 466-483

The conversion of a functional layout into a cellular manufacturing system involves the partitioning of several multiserver work centers. The loss of pooling synergy in this process can be significant, and this paper investigates the impact of several measures to overcome the adverse effects on...

Determining Economic Batch Sizes for Multiple Items in a Multilevel Manufacturing System

Goyal, S.K.; Gunasekaran, A.; Martikainen, T.; … - In: International Journal of Operations & Production Management 13 (1993) 12, pp. 79-93

Presents a mathematical model for determining Economic Production Quantity (EPQ) in a multistage flow‐shop production system for the case where the demand for items per unit time is deterministic and the planning horizon is finite. Solves an example problem to illustrate the model.

On the Utilization of a Split Production System

Gopalan, M.N.; Dinesh Kumar, U. - In: International Journal of Quality & Reliability Management 10 (1993) 4

Analyses a split production system which has a single station in the first stage followed by two parallel stations in the second stage, in connection with the efficiency of the system. Develops a mathematical model using semi‐regenerative processes to study the transient behaviour of the...
