From Colleges Our Correspondent
Ludhiana, December 8 Topic of the lecture was “Queuing Theory”. Speaking on the occasion Professor Bhalla said in this era of busy people, time was the main problem of everybody. “If a customer has to wait for service at servers, there is a cost associated with waiting. But if servers increase their service, cost of service increases, so there should be some trade off between the cost of waiting time and the cost of service”, he said. He explained about the situations where this theory is applicable like at ticket booths, a theatre, a conference registration desk, a red light at a traffic signal, e-mail on a server, legal court cases and planes arriving at an airport. He also discussed about different queuing configurations.
