Rapid Modeling: The Use of Queueing Models to Support Time-Based Competitive Manufacturing

摘要: A recent paper in Interfaces laments that1 “the mathematical and often abstract nature of many articles on queueing suggests that theory is just that: only difficult to apply practice.” It goes document the “limited use theory” practice. We agree wholeheartedly with those comments, present we will address this issue from point view manufacturing applications models. Despite fact analysis systems was formalized Erlang’s work at beginning century2, models operations management (OM) remains limited. There has actually been a lot progress research manufacturing3, but are seldom used industry for real decision-making. When compared other OR techniques such as LP or Simulation, see there also scarcity commercially supported software packages enabling manufacturing.
