The development of a methodology for assessing food quality in hospital food service systems.
… studies of food quality within hospital food service systems. Although it is widely accepted that food quality is a multi-faceted phenomenon, much attention has been paid to single component explanations in the past. The aim of this study throughout has been two fold - to develop a model …

Real-time Delay Prediction and Quality of Service Assurance for Traffic Management in Service Systems
Ensuring quality of service (QoS) is one of the important challenges facing service providers. A key metric of the QoS is the experienced delay by the customers, which can depend on various factors such as the demand patterns, service capacity and the scheduling discipline. In this thesis, we study …

An empirical investigation of the reliability and validity of the U.S.D.A. model to determine least-cost hospital food service systems
The U.S.D.A. Model which compares food service systems was tested to determine its reliability and validity. The Model lists the costs and needs of each type of food service system for different hospital bed sizes and demonstrates how two systems can be compared. The Model concludes that the ready …

Dynamic priority rules for cyclic queues with limited service regime
A cyclic service system with two stations operating under limited service regime has been analyzed, assuming poisson arrivals and exponential service at each service station. Zero switch-over times have been assumed. A thorough simulation study has been conducted, and guidelines have been obtained …
