This paper presents results from the application of a queueing network model developed to estimate the mean flow time in a rolling-mill facility. The queueing model accounts for random-batch size jobs that arrive intermittently over time and belong to given priority classes. Insights on a spreadsheet implementation of the model are also presented.
