AnaCol 3.0

Full version

Windows 95

Visual Basic/Excell

Object Code

Add-In for Microsoft EXCEL 97. Provides functions for queuing models. There are six different models of single queuing lines with multipleservers. Each model may have different statistical distributions for interarrival time and service time. The output for every model is the number of entities in the system and their waiting times in the queue and in the system.

User's guide and examples are included.
