Abstract
This paper presents a new GERTS model and simulator, GERTS QR, directed to the modeling and analysis of Multi-Resource Constrained (MRC) queueing systems. That is, systems where resource requirements, in addition to the availability of a service center or channel, may constrain the system. The development and notation of the GERTS QR model are briefly summarized, and three examples of MRC queueing systems are given to illustrate the application of the model. The three examples are: (1) a labor-limited job shop queueing system, (2) a retail sales outlet, and (3) the planning of a jet engine overhaul facility.Keywords
