“Littles Law is a theorem that determines the average number of items in a stationary queuing system, based on the average waiting time of an item within a system and the average number of items arriving at the system per unit of time.”

Littles Law allows us to assess the efficiency of queuing systems and is defined by:











Where:

· L – the average number of items in a queuing system

· Λ - the average number of items arriving at the system per unit of time

· W – The average waiting time an item spends in a queuing system
