Watch a Sample Video from the Course - The Erlang Queue and Calculator

Queuing is a way of equitably handling a number of customers wanting customer service at the same time.

Using Excel, we can build simple and more complex models to predict queue behaviour. As a result we can then estimate the resources required to handle the demands of the queue.

The course materials include a set of Excel functions and models to help you analyze and optimize queues in your own workplace.
