Chapter 9 Operational Research
9.1 Queueing theory
Queueing theory describes the movement of a queue such as customer arrival in bank, shop or emergency department. It seeks to balance supply and demand for a service. It begun with the study queue waiting on Danish telephones in 1909.
Little’s theorem describes the linear relationship between the number of customer L to the customer arrival rate \(\lambda\) and the customer served per time peiod, \(\mu\).
Queueing system is described in terms of Kendall’s notation, M/M/c/k, with exponential arrival time. Using this terminology, MM1 system has 1 server and infinite queue. An MM/2/3 system has 2 (c) servers and 1 (k-c) position in the queue. The M refers to Markov chain.
An example of a single server providing full service is a car wash. Example of a single multiphase server include different single stations in bank of withdrawing, deposit, information A counter at the airport or train station for economy and business passengers is considered multiserver single phase queue. A laundromat with different queues for washing and drying is an example of multiphase multiservers.
A traditional queue at a shop can also be seen as first in first out with the first customer served first and leave first. An issue with FIFO is that people may queue early such as overnight queue for the latest iPhone. Alternatives include last in first out queue and priority queueing in emergency department.
Let’s create a simple queue with 2 customers arriving per minute and 3 customers served per minute. The PO is the probability that the server is idle.
library(queueing)
lambda <- 2 # 2 customers arriving per minute
mu <- 3 # 3 customers served per minute
# MM1
mm1 <- NewInput.MM1(lambda = 2, mu = 3, n = 0)
# Create queue class object
mm1_out <- QueueingModel(mm1)
# Report
Report(mm1_out)
## The inputs of the M/M/1 model are:
## lambda: 2, mu: 3, n: 0
##
## The outputs of the M/M/1 model are:

## The probability (p0, p1, ..., pn) of the n = 0 clients in the system are:
## 0.3333333
## The traffic intensity is: 0.666666666666667
## The server use is: 0.666666666666667
## The mean number of clients in the system is: 2
## The mean number of clients in the queue is: 1.33333333333333
## The mean number of clients in the server is: 0.666666666666667
## The mean time spend in the system is: 1
## The mean time spend in the queue is: 0.666666666666667
## The mean time spend in the server is: 0.333333333333333
## The mean time spend in the queue when there is queue is: 1
## The throughput is: 2

Lets examine M/M/3 queue with exponential inter-arrival times, exponential service times and 3 servers.
library(queuecomputer)
n <- 100
arrivals <- cumsum(rexp(n, 1.9))
service <- rexp(n)

## Discrete Event Simulations
Discrete event simulation can be consider as modeling a complexity of system with multiple processes over time. This is different from continuous modeling of a system which evolve continuously with time. Discrete event simulation can be apply to the study of queue such as bank teller with a first in first out system.

9.2 Linear Programming
Linear programming is an optimisation process to maximise profit and minimise cost with multiple parts of the model having linear relationship. There are several different libraries useful for linear programming. The lpSolve library is used here as illustration.

9.3 Forecasting
Forecasting is useful in predicting trends. In health care it can be used for estimating seasonal trends and bed requirement. Below is a forecast of mortality from COVID-19 in 2020. This forecast is an example and is not meant to be used in practice as mortality from COVID depends on the number of factors including infected cases, age, socioeconomic group, and comorbidity.

Customer churns or turnover is an issue of interest in marketing. The corollary within healthcare is patients attendance at outpatient clinics, Insurance. The classical method used is GLM.
