TLDR
Three conclusions of interest to the practicing manager are the primary result of the simulation: increasing server transfer time increases mean flow time, flow time variance, and the percent of time the server spends transferring.Abstract:
Simulation is used to evaluate a number of server assignment prodecures within a system of parallel queues. There are less servers than parallel single-channel service facilities and server transfer between facilities is allowed. Server transfer involves a deterministic time delay. Job interarrival times and service times follow the negative exponential distribution. Evaluated assignment procedures include, (1) rules incorporating parametrically weighted transfer times, and (2) rules permitting transfer only when a fixed minimum amount of time has elapsed. These rules have the effect of delaying server assignment. Three conclusions of interest to the practicing manager are the primary result of the simulation: (1) Increasing server transfer time increases mean flow time, flow time variance, and the percent of time the server spends transferring. (2) Using rules to delay server assignment reduces these criteria when compared with rules which do not delay assignment. A manager should consider delaying assig...read more

Job release and labor flexibility in a dual resource constrained job shop
TL;DR: Results presented using statistical and graphical analysis show that there is no statistically significant difference in the performance using finite loading and infinite loading release mechanisms, and succeeding increases in labor flexibility show a diminishing return in shop performance.

An investigation of labor assignment rules in a dual-constrained job shop
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of various labor assignment rules on the shop's performance were examined in a dual-constrained job shop and the results showed that none of the eleven rules had a significant impact on shop performance.
