The methodology employed was to collect data from the customers arriving at the service points of the bank. Customers arriving at the service points of the bank are given identification or trial numbers such as 1, 2, 3 etc in the order of their arrival. Their clock time of arrival, beginning of service and at the end of service are observed for each customer at a duration of at least three(3) hours for three days for the selected branches under study. The data was analyzed by preparing an elaborate worksheet using Microsoft Excel. This would depict the state changes for any arriving customer during the period of observation.
