Abstract
Queueing situations arise in all aspects of work and life and are typified by the ‘queueing for service’. The theory of queueing gives a basis for understanding the various aspects of the problems and enables a quantitative assessment to be made. Therefore the theory enables these ‘service situations’ to be more effectively designed and operated.
