A Note on Queuing Models
Rasha Kashef; Felipe RodriguesTechnical Note IVEY-9B19E006-EDecision AnalysisQueues (or waiting lines) are common in modern life. We wait in lines at the campus cafeteria, to board an airplane, in the emergency room, and when we call a company for customer service. We even wait for applications to be initiated and processed by our smartphone processors, and our online orders wait to be fulfilled at companies’ warehouses before being shipped to us. How long we wait in line depends on several factors and parameters. It may ...Starting at €8.20

Mobile Blood Donor Clinic: A Discrete Event Simulation Model
Rasha Kashef; Felipe RodriguesCase IVEY-9B17E010-ECorporate GovernanceIn 2017, while donating blood on campus, a management science graduate student noticed that the mobile blood donor clinic set up at his university’s community centre was a congested tandem queuing system. Finding one-and-one-half hours too long for donors to wait, the student considered how the process could be reduced by at least half an hour. He needed to devise a reasonably precise model to represent the donor flow in the clinic. Using either ...Starting at €8.20

South West Health Centre: Improving Patient Flow in the Intensive Care Unit
Rasha Kashef; Felipe RodriguesCase IVEY-9B19E007-EDecision AnalysisHospitals frequently deal with congestion and blockage that affects patient flow and increased costs. In 2018, at University Hospital, part of South West Health Centre, patient flow in the medical surgical intensive care unit seemed to be highly susceptible to congestion, and this was creating ripple effects throughout the hospital and leading to increased costs. The complexity of patient flow presented an opportunity to build a discrete-event si...Starting at €8.20

Predicting Automobile Prices Using Neural Networks
Rasha Kashef; Boya ZhangCase IVEY-9B20E002-EDecision AnalysisThe chief marketing officer (CMO) at an automobile agency was looking at a list of car model features, which he had received from the manufacturing plant. He was expected to provide the manufacturer’s suggested retail prices of the cars to dealers the following week and had to decide on the base prices. The CMO asked a data scientist at the research lab to predict prices using the data of past car models. Each car model had different features tha...Starting at €8.20
