Abstract
In most physical queueing applications, customers join a
queue andmove forward after each service, leaving room for
others to join behind them. Some queues found in material
handling and transportation systems do not operate like this
because the queued entities (pallets or unoccupied cars, for
example) are incapable of moving forward autonomously.
We develop a model for the resulting staging queue, and
give simulation results for several configurations.
