Queues in Acquisition
NPS-AM-10-048.pdf (181.8Kb)Abstract
Acquisition programs have inherent variability in their task durations, which often results in unforecasted completion delay. Using concepts from Lean Production and Lean Product Development, queues that are at the heart of these delays can be made visible and can be managed. Observing queues in acquisition programs can give early warning of project problems. Several techniques can be used to manage queues.

(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1994-09);The U.S. Navy's new multiprocessor, the AN/UYS-2 Enhanced Modular Signal Processor (EMSP) utilizes a First-Come-First-Serve (FCFS) algorithm to transfer data. This algorithm is simple to implement but provides no mechanism ... -
Heavy traffic results for single server queues with dependent (EARMA) service and interarrival times
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1979-04); NPS55-79-009Models are given for sequences of correlated exponential interarrival and service times for a single server queue. These multivariate exponential models are formed as probabilitic linear combinations of sequences of ...
