A Queueing Model of a Capacity Planning Problem in the Tea Industry

The present paper discusses a problem of capacity planning that arose in the Georgian tea industry1. In the Socialist Soviet Republic of Georgia practically all Russian tea is manufactured. The tea plantations are situated in a small strip of land that stretches from the shores of the Black Sea to the heights of the Caucasus. In this area there are approximately 60 tea factories which are managed by the Georgian Tea Trust. Their annual output amounts to 68,000 tons of tea approximately.
