Sandwich shop : a queuing net work with finite disposable resources queue and infinite resources queue

چکیده
As I take the queuing system course, I become interested in the queuing systems in our life, for example, the cafeteria in the school. In this project, I want to model an interesting queuing system I observed in some cafeteria on campus, and study the behaviour and performance of the queuing system at the cafeteria. When I go to the Jazz Café in Darrin Communications Center, I noticed that there are two types of customers. Some of the customers quickly pick up some prepared food or drinks and join the check-out line, while some of them order sandwiches or coffee that take some time to be ready for pick-up. The prepared food usually serves in a limited amount, so it happened to me that the prepared sandwich is sold out. In that case, I would need to decide to get a fresh made sandwich or leave and make purchase somewhere else. So I model such queuing network as a sandwich shop. Each day during the peak hour, 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., the sandwich shop have K prepared sandwich available in the refrigerator, and enough raw materials to make customized sandwich for all the arriving customers. The customer who wants customized sandwich is called customer of type 1 and arrives following a Poisson Process with rate λ1. And the customer who wants to pick up a prepared sandwich and check out soon is called customer of type 2 and arrives following a Poisson process with rate λ2. When a type 1 customer arrives, he goes to the queue at the food counter, and wait for his turn when a staff will make his customized sandwich. Once he gets his sandwich, he proceeds to the checkout queue to pay for the food. There is one staff at the food counter, and his service time has exponential distribution with rate μ1. When a type 2 customer arrive, he goes to the queue in front of the refrigerator to wait for his turn to pick up a prepared sandwich. The time each type 2 customer needs to choose and take the prepared sandwich is also exponentially

Finite Capacity Queuing System with Vacations and Server Breakdowns
This paper deals with finite capacity single server queuing system with vacations. Vacation starts at rate nu if the system is empty. Also the server takes another vacation if upon his arrival to the system, finds the system empty. Customers arrive in the system in Poisson fashion at rate lamda0 during vacation, faster rate lamdaf during active service and slower rate lamdas during the breakdow...
متن کاملA Finite Capacity Priority Queue with Discouragement
In this paper we report on a study of a two level preemptive priority queue with balking and reneging for lower priority level. The inter-arrival and the service times for both levels follow exponential distribution. We use a finite difference equation approach for solving the balance equations of the governing queuing model whose states are described by functions of one independent variable. H...
متن کاملSecond Moment of Queue Size with Stationary Arrival Processes and Arbitrary Queue Discipline
In this paper we consider a queuing system in which the service times of customers are independent and identically distributed random variables, the arrival process is stationary and has the property of orderliness, and the queue discipline is arbitrary. For this queuing system we obtain the steady state second moment of the queue size in terms of the stationary waiting time distribution of a s...
متن کاملM m m Queue with Balking, Reneging and Additional Servers
In this paper, we consider a multi-server queuing system in which additional servers are allowed for a longer queue to reduce the customer’s balking and reneging behavior. The customers are assumed to arrive in Poisson fashion and their service- times follow exponential distribution. The number of servers in long run depends on the queue-length. We obtain equilibrium queue size distribution. Th...
متن کاملMaximum Entropy Analysis for G/G/1 Queuing System (TECHNICAL NOTE)
This paper provides steady state queue-size distribution for a G/G/1 queue by using principle of maximum entropy. For this purpose we have used average queue length and normalizing condition as constraints to derive queue-size distribution. Our results give good approximation as demonstrated by taking a numerical illustration. In particular case when square coefficient of variation of inter-arr...
