System and method of modeling customer demand in a print production environment

摘要

A method of determining one or more performance metrics associated with a print shop may include identifying one or more historical print jobs from a historical print job database. Each historical print job may include a historical print job type and historical job content information. The method may include generating, by a computing device, one or more synthetic print jobs based on the historical job type and historical job content information associated with the identified historical print jobs, and determining, by the computing device, one or more performance metrics associated with processing the one or more synthetic print jobs by a print shop.

1. A method of determining one or more performance metrics associated with a print shop, the method comprising:
identifying one or more historical print jobs from a historical print job database, wherein each historical print job comprises a historical print job type and historical job content information;
generating, by a computing device, one or more synthetic print jobs based on the historical job type and historical job content information associated with the identified historical print jobs, wherein one or more of the generated synthetic print jobs have an arrival time distribution at an arrival time comprising a Poisson process having a mean value that is based on a cumulative number of operating hour time units at the arrival time; anddetermining, by the computing device, one or more performance metrics associated with processing the one or more synthetic print jobs by a print shop.
