The radiology film storage and retrieval system (film library) of the Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology was studied by means of a computer simulation model. The current operation of the film library was studied and a model of the library was used to demonstrate which functions might be most susceptible to overloading and insufficiency. This is a valid technique for systematic study of a radiological film library and is also useful for many other complex administrative problems.
