Queuing Configurations

Description

There are three typical types of Configuration Systems:

1) Single Queuing, Single Server System: Customers enter the system and wait in line on a First-in, first-out (FIFO) basis until they receive the service then they exit the system.

2) Single Queuing, Multiserver System: Customers enter the system and join a FIFO queue. Upon reaching the front of the line, a customer is served by the next available server.

3) Collection of Single Queue, Single Server System: When Customers arrive, they must choose one of the queues and wait in line to receive service.
