| Function | Purpose | |------------------:|:---------------------------------------------------| | calc_queue_load() | To understand the ratio between demand and capacity. | | calc_target_mean_wait() | To understand the average waiting time for a queue in equilibrium. | | calc_target_queue_size() | To understand the queue size for a queue in equilibrium. | | calc_relief_capacity() | To calculate the relief capacity needed to bring a very large queue under control. | | calc_target_capacity() | To understand the capacity required to keep a queue in equilibrium, depending on how much variability it experiences. | | calc_waiting_list_pressure() | A pressure measure, which can be used to compare multiple waiting lists for planning purposes. |
