| Summary: | (FISFO) and first-in first-out (FIFO). Intuition suggests, A network of three single-server queues is investigated. also lower mean cycle time than FIFO in certain situations. and customer satisfaction. More simulation experiments are basis of the mean and variance of the network cycle time. can yield improvements in the variability of the cycle time FISFO produces not only lower variance of the cycle time but improvements will impact favorably the quoting of lead times in certain cases, that the mean cycle time will be the same in systems like the one investigated in this research. These need to be developed. perform the same. When there is a high traffic intensity, Performance of two queueing disciplines is compared on the suggested to provide more evidence that analytical results The two queueing disciplines are first-in-system first-out These results suggest that FISFO, a simple rule to implement, under both disciplines but that the variance will be lower under FISFO. Results of this study suggest that in the cases where there is a low traffic intensity, both disciplines |
