USING QUEUING ANALYSIS AND COMPUTER SIMULATION MODELING TO REDUCE WAITING TIME IN THE HOSPITAL ADMITTING DEPARTMENT Igor Georgievskiy‚ Zhanna Georgievskaya‚ William Pinney (Alcorn State University) Donald McWilliams (Texas Wesleyan University) ABSTRACT The Admitting Department is one of the most highly congested hospital services‚ and faces a great deal of pressure‚ compared with other components of the health care system. Delays in the AD system may result in difficulties of scheduling services

Waiting Lines & Queuing Models American Military University Business 312 For my project on other operations research techniques I have decided to research waiting lines and queuing models. My interest in this application stems from my personal dislike for standing in lines and waiting on hold while on the phone. This is virtually my only pet peeve; nothing aggravates me faster than standing in a line or waiting on hold. Like most people I go out of my way to avoid lines‚ using strategies

Ask about student experiences in lines. Stress that queues are a part of our everyday lives and how things have changed at banks‚ post offices‚ and airports in just the past decade. (We now wait in a common line for the first available server.) Teaching Suggestion 14.2: Cost of Waiting Time from an Organizational

Computer Simulation * A software program that runs on any computer that attempts to simulate some phenomenon based on a scientist’s conceptual and mathematical understanding of the given phenomenon. * The scientist’s conceptual understanding is reduced to an algorithmic or mathematical logic‚ which is then programmed in one of many programming languages (Fortran‚ C‚ C++‚ etc.) and compiled to produce a binary code that runs on a computer. * Have become a useful part of modeling

CHAPTER 14 WAITING LINE AND QUEUING THEORY MODELS Alternative Example 14.3: A new shopping mall is considering setting up an information desk manned by two employees. Based on information obtained from similar information desks‚ it is believed that people will arrive at the desk at the rate of 20 per hour. It takes an average of 2 minutes to answer a question. It is assumed that arrivals are Poisson and answer times are exponentially distributed. a. Find the proportion of the time that the

Modelling and simulation Electronic circuits can be modelled in real life using a prototyping board - also known as a breadboard. However‚ this can be time consuming and uses real components‚ which can be damaged. Computerised simulation software can be used to test circuits without the need to physically build them. In addition‚ the computer simulation can be saved and edited. Simulation software can also be
