Akpan Nsikan Paul | Ojekudo [3] | Nathaniel Akpofure [3]


Abstract: This research work is a study of queuing theory and its application in waste management authority (A case study of LAWMA Igando dump site, Lagos state). The queuing model used was M/M/S. Both the service and the inter-arrival time made a good fit to Exponential distribution. Queuing performance measures was used to estimate the inter-arrival, service and waiting time of the queue. These results were inter-arrival time () =30.8/hr, service time () =3.49/truck, and waiting time in the queue = 4.0hrs.
