Abstract: Abstract This chapter shows how to calculate the waiting time probabilities for a multi-server system, with infinite capacity, exponential inter-arrival times and exponential service times, where the customers are serviced in a first-in-first-out discipline. Could be a package delivery service that wants to determine the number of delivery vehicles to have in its fleet so 90 percent of deliveries begin within 20 min of the call. Examples are presented.
