To explore this model, try a couple
of types of changes |
|
|
|
|
|
1. The system arrival rate is in
cell C15, patients/min arriving at the sign-in table - gradually increase
this toward 0.315789 |
|
|
|
2. Add servers in cell E18 (these
correspond to additional doctors) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
NOTE: negative residence time means
that utilization (rho) exceeds 1; that is, the queue is unstable |
