The Erlang C formula is used when a customer is added to a queue because an assistance resource is not available. The customer then stays in the queue until a resource becomes available. Another Erlang formula is used when a customer is denied service and their request is rejected when they ...
2. How does the Erlang Formula work? The Erlang C formula takes into account the number of agents available, the number of queued calls waiting and the average amount of time it takes for each customer. It also considers the random arrival of calls into the centre, as well as the “hold...

the fine-print of the Erlang-C formula is beyond the scope of this guide1. In the sample spreadsheet, the probability to wait is computed in B12 using the ErlangC macro function implemented in Visual Basic. The ErlangC function takes two arguments, firstmthe number of agents and second u...

The remainder of this article is organized as follows: Section 2 presents the system assumptions, state specifications, and notations. Section 3 presents the formulation of mathematical system models to derive metrics for system reliability, such as the reliability function, the mean time to system ...
