Queue theory and improving the customer service process in the city hall – case study

Introduction/background: The objective of the article is to present possibilities of using queue theory at the City Hall to improve the service process. In recent years, the demand for highquality customer service in an industrial city has increased, as it causes the applicant, and in the case of urban logistics – a resident, to become tied to their place of residence. This results in an increase in the number of residents, and thus leads to the development of the city and an increase in its resources (also financial). Aim of the paper: The objective of the article is to present possibilities in City Hall offices of using queue theory to improve the service process. Materials and methods: The article shows the application of mathematical methods in customer service in logistics. Results and conclusions: Queuing systems have particular use in administration. Proper organisation of the work of an office or department enables fast and efficient service and customer satisfaction. The analysis of customer mass service systems is carried out in order to determine the optimal number of stations and to determine the general rules prevailing in the queue. When analysing the City Hall as a customer service system, it can be noticed that the usage of queuing theory to evaluate the system performance allows assessing the ability of the entity’s logistics system to meet customer needs in terms of time, reliability and quality in accordance with the level of customer service.
