Queuing models
A)Yield optimal solutions
B)Are generally deterministic
C)Cannot be used in manufacturing
D)Use formulas only when arrivals and service times follow certain distributions

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Queuing models use formulas only when arrivals and service times follow certain distributions. The distributions commonly used in queuing models are Poisson distribution for arrivals and exponential distribution for service times. Therefore, option D is the correct answer. Options A, B, and C are incorrect because queuing models may not always yield optimal solutions, they can be stochastic or probabilistic, and they are widely used in manufacturing operations management.
