Cycle Time Estimation for Simulating a Tandem Queueing Systems Using Aggregation Techniques

چکیده
One approach to simulating a single-server tandem queuing system is to explicitly model each of the production stages. In this paper, we apply queueing theory, a recursive algorithm, and composite random number sampling to develop an equivalent aggregate representation consisting of only a single production stage. Preliminary test results indicate that the aggregation works well for estimating the mean and variability of the total cycle time. P. Savory and G.T. Mackulak (1996), “Cycle Time Estimation for Simulating a Tandem Queueing Systems Using Aggregation Techniques,” Simulation: Transactions for the Society of Computer Simulation, Volume 13, No. 3, pp. 125-133 2 1 MODEL DESCRIPTION We consider a tandem queueing system consisting of a series arrangement of a finite number of production stages or resources. The machine component of each resource has one server and each server can operate on one part at a time and has internal storage for that part. The parameters of this tandem queueing or flow line system can be summarized as follows: FL R R R S R Z S U R Q M Q v x M f m s c N

TREND-CYCLE ESTIMATION USING FUZZY TRANSFORM OF HIGHER DEGREE
In this paper, we provide theoretical justification for the application of higher degree fuzzy transform in time series analysis. Under the assumption that a time series can be additively decomposed into a trend-cycle, a seasonal component and a random noise, we demonstrate that the higher degree fuzzy transform technique can be used for the estimation of the trend-cycle, which is one of the ba...
متن کاملOn Evaluation of the Mean Service Cycle Time in Tandem Queueing Systems
The problem of exact evaluation of the mean service cycle time in tandem systems of single-server queues with both infinite and finite buffers is considered. It is assumed that the interarrival and service times of customers form sequences of independent and identically distributed random variables with known mean values. We start with tandem queues with infinite buffers, and show that under th...

Importance sampling (IS) is recognized as a potentially powerful method for reducing simulation runtimes when estimating the probabilities of rare events in communication systems using Monte Carlo simulation. When simulating networks of queues, regenerative techniques must be used in order to make the application of IS feasible and efficient. The application of regenerative techniques is also c...
