Abstract

In this paper, some very useful and applicable ideas are presented to facilitate solving complex problems in Queueing Theory. It is demonstrated how a spreadsheet can be used to solve problems which many practitioners find very intimidating. To this end an algorithm is presented which is particularly designed for easy implementation in a spreadsheet. A template is provided illustrating the implementation of the algorithm. The use of the template is demonstrated in various queueing applications.
