Solution to complex queueing systems: a spreadsheet approach
Pages 33 - 46
Abstract
In this paper, some very useful and applicable ideas are presented to facilitate solving complex problems in Queueing Theory. It is demonstrated how a spreadsheet can be used to solve problems which many practitioners find very intimidating. To this end an algorithm is presented which is particularly designed for easy implementation in a spreadsheet. A template is provided illustrating the implementation of the algorithm. The use of the template is demonstrated in various queueing applications.

M/M/1 Queueing systems with inventory
We derive stationary distributions of joint queue length and inventory processes in explicit product form for various M/M/1-systems with inventory under continuous review and different inventory management policies, and with lost sales. Demand is ...
Analysis of a Discrete-Time Queueing System with Timed Vacations
We consider a discrete-time GI-G-1 queueing system with server vacations. Vacations occur whenever the queue becomes empty or whenever a timer expires. When the timer expires one of the following four actions are considered: the server completes ...
Age Process, Workload Process, Sojourn Times, and Waiting Times in a Discrete Time SM[K]/PH[K]/1/FCFS Queue
In this paper, we study a discrete time queueing system with multiple types of customers and a first-come-first-served (FCFS) service discipline. Customers arrive according to a semi-Markov arrival process and the service times of individual customers ...
