Abstract
This paper reports a set of simulation experiments with a service system model in which labor interchange is possible between service centers. It explores design and control aspects of labor and machine limited systems. A simple model with two service centers and two laborers is employed to explore the relationships among three experimental variables. The variables are the efficiency of labor interchange, the degree of centralized control exercised in labor assignment, and the queue discipline. Both series and job-shop type job routings are studied.Keywords
