How to Use This Calculator
- Enter the Arrival Rate (visitors per hour) during the period being analyzed.
- Set the Service Rate (visitors served per hour per service point) and number of Service Points.
- Review Average Wait Time in minutes, Total Time in the system, Average Queue Length, and Server Utilization.
- If utilization exceeds 85%, add service points — the queue grows exponentially as utilization approaches 100%.
