Optimal management for a finite M/M/R queueing system with two arrival modes
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider an M/M/R queueing system with finite capacity N, where customers have two arrival modes under steady-state conditions. It is assumed that each arrival mode is serviced by one or more servers, and that the two arrival modes have equal probabilities of receiving service. Arrival times of the customers and service times of the severs follow an exponential distribution. A cost model is developed to determine the optimal number of servers and the optimal system capacity. The minimum expected cost, the optimal number of servers, the optimal system capacity, and various system characteristics are obtained for some designated system parameters’ values. Sensitivity for the minimal cost is also investigated.

This investigation deals with single server queueing system wherein the arrival of the units follow Poisson process with varying arrival rates in different states and the service time of the units is arbitrary (general) distributed. The server may take a vacation of a fixed duration or may continue to be available in the system for next service. Using the probability argument, we construct the ...

متن کاملOptimal Pricing for Finite Capacity Queueing Systems with Multiple Customer Classes
We determine optimal static prices for a finite capacity queueing system serving customers from different classes. We prove an upper bound for the optimal arrival rates for a fairly large class of queueing systems and provide sufficient conditions that ensure the existence of a unique optimal arrival rate vector. We show that these conditions hold for M/M/1/m and M/G/s/s systems and prove struc...
متن کاملA Note on Optimal Pricing for Finite Capacity Queueing Systems with Multiple Customer Classes
This paper investigates optimal static prices for a finite capacity queueing system serving customers from different classes. We first show that the original multi-class formulation in which the price for each class is a decision variable can be reformulated as a single dimensional problem with the total load as the decision variable. Using this alternative formulation, we prove an upper bound ...
