  • 47 Accesses

Abstract

In this section we consider a simple organization whose output may be measured in terms of “cases handled”. The analysis uses elementary queuing theory. In view of the restrictiveness of this queuing model, the results should be considered as illustrative rather than definitive.

This chapter is based on Beckmann, 1982.
