Abstract

In order to better reduce the operation cost of Beidaihe small supermarket, especially the reasonable arrangement of the cashier of a number, we can use the queueing theory to solve this question. Queueing theory is the theory of random service system, based on the service object and the arrival of business hours of the statistical study, draws some quantitative indices (waiting time, queue length, busy period length) statistical regularity. Supermarket operators in order to facilitate the purchase installed large number of tourists pay POS machine, to reduce the customer waiting time. Introduction of excess POS will increase the cost of the supermarket operators. Use queue theory by comparing the calculated cash and credit card payment waiting time. With the results of guided supermarket operator reasonable arrangement of POS machine number.
