Queueing Network Models and Facility Planning

排队网络模型已经成为建筑师和工程师在规划和设计设施时越来越重要的工具，因为活动的最佳配置、顾客的路线和资源（空间、人员和设备）的组合可以用排队网络模型进行分析。在这项研究中，排队网络分解技术的范围和局限性建模的最优拓扑，路由，和资源分配问题在设施将被探索。重点将讨论用广义展开方法求解该问题的有限开、闭排队网络模型。分析方法的鲁棒性将与实例设施网络的仿真实验进行比较。

Queuing network models have become increasingly important tools to architects and engineers in the planning and design of facilities, since the optimal configuration of activities, routing of customers, and composition of resources (space, staff, and equipment) can be analyzed with queuing network models. In this study, the scope and limitations of queuing network decomposition techniques for modeling the optimal topology, routing, and resource allocation problems within facilities will be explored. Focus will be on finite open and closed queuing network models of this problem using the Generalized Expansion methodology. The robustness of the analytical approach will be compared with simulation experiments of example facility networks.
