Abstract

People are met with waiting in queues every day. They wait in queues in shops, at gas stations, elevators etc. It does not have to be only people, it can also be planes circling around an airport waiting to land, machines waiting to be repaired, cargo trucks waiting to be loaded etc. The problem of queue management tends to be complicated, because the scope of provision of services of various types grows quickly. The goal of these problems is establishment of an appropriate level of services. The method that enables solving these types of problems is called queueing theory.The goal of the article will be to implement optimization of cargo truck loading and to identify how much money a company can save by the eventual acceleration of loading.

Keywords: Optimization, queueing theory, truck loading
