Transient Analysis of a Multi-server Queuing Model with Discouraged Arrivals and Retention of Reneging Customers

چکیده
In this paper, we study a finite capacity Markovian multi-server queuing system with discouraged arrivals, reneging, and retention of reneging customers. The transient state probabilities of the queuing system are obtained by using a computational technique based on the 4th order RungeKutta method. With the help of the transient state probabilities, we develop some important measures of performance of the system, such as time-dependent expected system size, time-dependent expected reneging rate, and time-dependent expected retention rate. The transient behavior of the system size probabilities and the expected system size is also studied. Further, the variations in the expected system size, the expected reneging rate, and the expected retention rate with respect to the probability of retaining a reneging customer are also studied. Finally, the effect of discouraged arrivals in the same model is analyzed.

A Single-server Markovian Queuing System with Discouraged Arrivals and Retention of Reneged Customers
Customer impatience has a very negative impact on the queuing system under investigation. If we talk from business point of view, the firms lose their potential customers due to customer impatience, which affects their business as a whole. If the firms employ certain customer retention strategies, then there are chances that a certain fraction of impatient customers can be retained in the queui...

Customer impatience (reneging) has negative impact on the performance of queueing systems. If we talk from business point of view, firms lose their potential customers due to customer impatience which affects their business as a whole. It is envisaged that if the firms employ certain customer retention strategies then there are chances that a certain fraction of impatient customers can be ret...

This paper analyzes a discrete-time $Geo/Geo/c$ queueing system with multiple working vacations and reneging in which customers arrive according to a geometric process. As soon as the system gets empty, the servers go to a working vacations all together. The service times during regular busy period, working vacation period and vacation times are assumed to be geometrically distributed. Customer...

In the present investigation transient, G x/G/m queuing model with balking and reneging has been studied. The diffusion process with elementary return boundary has been used for modeling purpose. The probability density function (p. d. f.) for the number of customers in the system has been obtained. In special case, the steady state results that tally with those of Kimura and Ohsone have been e...
متن کاملM m m Queue with Balking, Reneging and Additional Servers
In this paper, we consider a multi-server queuing system in which additional servers are allowed for a longer queue to reduce the customer’s balking and reneging behavior. The customers are assumed to arrive in Poisson fashion and their service- times follow exponential distribution. The number of servers in long run depends on the queue-length. We obtain equilibrium queue size distribution. Th...
