Abstract

Queuing string theory beginning at problems occurred in practice on telecommunications processes, processes of transport services, processes gas stations. Based on the content of this theory have been developed for decision models in organizational management. This is because any production process also involves an undesirable consumption of production means, resources, performers and time which cannot be removed entirely. For this reason, some econometric models based on the queuing string theory have been elaborated and have the following variables: the consumers, queuing string, service stations. Such variables must be optimised by establishing the optimal level of some parameters, such as: arrivals in the system, service time, intensity of traffic, etc. The econometric models used in this case may be: model with a single service station and limited queuing string and respectively model wherein the queuing string is unlimited; model with several service stations and arrival from a finite population and respectively model with the arrival from an infinite population; model with a service station and arrivals from a finite population.
