Abstract

The paper presents an application study to find cost effective bank teller management policies for providing high quality service levels at reasonable costs in a modern banking system. Two models are developed. The first is a spreadsheet model to calculate desired teller manning levels from mathematical queuing models, and the second is a simulation model for testing new management policies. Manning heuristics are tested and found to provide the desired level of services.
