“…Most authors have assumed that either the transportation system or the processing component is unalterable and focused on optimizing one of them. For example, Hill and Whybark (1982) focus exclusively on the routing problem while Davis and Swanson (1978) focus on personnel scheduling. One exception is Davis et al (1982), who provide a comprehensive model with the capability for examining the impact of changes in branch operating hours, branch messenger staffing and schedules, processing center location, encoder staffing and schedules, and endpoint selection and associated clearing deadlines.…”

The paper proposes that improvements in the productivity of process technology can be achieved by analyzing and instituting changes in the rules and methods through which work is organized. The implementation of information-based process technology in a bank's check processing system provides the context for the study. A simulation approach is used to assess the benefits of introducing alternative workflow scheduling rules after implementation of the new technology. Results from a hypothetical setting, using data from an actual check processing center, demonstrate the cost advantages of introducing a priority-based scheduling rule. The implications and problems associated with practical implementation are discussed.

The check‐processing activity represents a major function in a commercial bank. If checks are quickly processed through the bank, then funds will be transferred to appropriate accounts and the bank will experience minimum float. This paper discusses the use of priority rules to maximize the dollar value of checks processed each day. A series of experiments are developed to test a set of priority rules (heuristics) under different operating conditions of check processing capacity, transit dollar levels, and branch characteristics. The results indicate that significant differences in performance are present for different rules. Also, the usefulness of some rules are dependent upon the commercial bank's operating characteristics, which has important implications for operating managers.
