Queueing

The Queue block is one of the fundamental components of SAS Simulation Studio models. It is used for the transient storage of entities, and you have extensive options for controlling how many entities can be stored in the queue and the order in which entities are stored, as well as options for reneging, preemption, and nonblocking. Figure 9.1 shows the Block Properties dialog box with default settings. In this chapter, the various options available in the Queue block are described and examples are presented.
