Abstract

Improving service quality in the banking sector is essential for customer satisfaction. Decision makers are especially concerned about the time that customers wait before receiving their service. To stay competitive, decision makers have to continuously improve their service quality, measured in terms of suitable performance indicators. In this study, we focus on modelling and analysis of bank queuing systems. The study comprises three phases: (i) identify suitable performance indicators that influence customer perception with regards to service quality, (ii) simulate the behavioral performance of bank queuing systems, and (ii) evaluate and improve the service quality of the system. An illustrative case study is presented, showing the utility of proposed simulation approach.
