Abstract
The overall operating efficiency of processing objects, which are placed in a selected one of several available queues for subsequent processing at respective processing sites, is improved using a model relating the total time for processing to time of waiting in queue and processing. A deicing decision support tool uses the model for estimating completion times for deicing aircraft.
