More on Queues

Posted in queuing theory by Francisco Marco-Serrano @ Nov 13, 2006

nPlenty of sorrow for failling to my word. I should’ve written this post yesterday, but “all my troubles seem so far away” that I slept on Sunday.

Brazilian queue, let’s see. The good thing there is they respect pregnants and senior citizens. I’m not saying they don’t do in Great Britain, though, just saying here in Brazil they give way!. The British queue I most remember is that one for checking in (everywhere): one queue leading to several desks, so no one felt angry when your queue tends to be the slowest one (usually mine!).
We queue here and there, our life is a queue, a long one, from birth to death. However, there’s this amazing set of tools, smartly named “queuing theory”, that helps us to manage our life, our supermarkets, banks, airports, supply chains, and so on. Thanks again OR!.

Fancy a Poisson distribution?.
