C. B. Spengler * and J. B. Westwood *

Manchester Business School, Booth Street West, Manchester, UK

A problem of data retrieval in a typical service company is described. A linear programming model is applied as an approximation and produces acceptable results. A simulation study is used for validation purposes and to identify the conditions under which the approximation is valid. The model's use as a planning device is outlined and the subsequent recommendations discussed.

Received February 1977. Revised October 1977.
