MatlaB simulation, of single server queue and multi-channel server and inventory system
Consider a computer technical support center where personnel take calls and provide
service. The time between calls ranges from 1 to 4 minutes, with distribution as shown
in table 1.1. There are two technical support people – Able and Baker. Able is more
experienced and can provide service faster than Baker. The distribution of their service
times are shown in table 1.2 and 1.3.
Rule: “Able gets the call if both technical support people are idle”. The problem is to
estimate the system measures of performance in terms of:
1) The efficiency of Able.
2) The efficiency of Baker
3) The average caller delay.
Please answer the following question:
4) Do we need extra server? Why?
In case that Able is alone (without Baker), Compute the following terms:
1- The average service time.
2- The average waiting time (in the queue).
3- The maximum queue length.
4- The probability that a customer wait in the queue.
5- The portion of idle time of the server.
Moreover, you need to get some answers (with justification) for the following questions:
6- Does the theoretical average service time match with the experimental one?
7- Does the theoretical average interarrival time match with the experimental one?
