A Production Function for the Organization with Hierarchical Network Queue Structure

계층적(階層的) 네트웍 대기구조(待機構造)를 갖는 조직(組織)의 생산함수(生産函數)에 대한 연구(硏究)

In the organization with a hierarchical network queue structure a production function is derived whose input factors are the numbers of servers at nodes and output is the number of served customers. Its useful properties are investigated. Using this production function, the contributions of servers to the number of served customers are studied. Also given an expected waiting time in the system for each customer, the optimal numbers of servers at nodes are obtained minimizing a cost function.
