NZ Post has challenging queue management issues because they deal with a wide variety of customer tasks (e.g. registering a car; a complex banking transaction; buying some stamps, etc..) that take different amounts of time. Many post offices use the preemptive system - e.g. they may have a bank customer only queue. Cashiers may intercede in the line to help train customers in how to skip the queue by using self-help facilities (like express deposit boxes for simple transactions).
Service Thlinking is a blog of Associate Professor Janet Sayers, School of Management, Massey University, New Zealand. Key concepts and terms used in classes are explained in words, videos, and images. The blog is co-created with students. I also post about my research and publications to encourage integration between research and teaching in courses I teach.
