Priority Queueing - Demonstration Previous Next
The above figure depicts the proposed design of the queueing system for the Littletown bank, where each M represents a merchant, each C represents another customer, and each S represents a server (teller). Note that merchants and other customers are in separate waiting lines.
We now will use this figure to demonstrate a simulation run in action. You will see merchants and other customers arrive, wait in the proper line as needed, enter into service, and leave when service is completed.
This demonstration will speed up real time only by a factor of 20, whereas a typical simulation normally runs many times faster (without the graphical display). Therefore, in the minute it runs, the demonstration only shows the very beginnning of a complete simulation run that typically would be executed in a similar amount of time.
You needn't wait for the demonstration to finish before moving on.
