چکیده
In this paper we analyse a multi-server queueing model with locking. The model is motivated by a situation we encountered at a maintenance facility for trains. Maintenance is done at parallel tracks, where each track ooers space to two trains. Trains can enter and leave the tracks from one and the same side only. This gives rise to locking of the front train: in order to leave the maintenance track the front train has to wait till maintenance of the back train (if there is one) has also been completed. Hence, part of the maintenance (or track) capacity is lost. The queueing model is used to investigate the loss of capacity and its eeect on sojourn times. The performance of this system is also compared with other designs. A surprising result is that in light traac it is better to use only half of the track capacity by allowing no more than one train at a maintenance track.

Discrete Time Analysis of Multi-Server Queueing System with Multiple Working Vacations and Reneging of Customers
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 this paper we study two echelon multi-server tandom queueing systems where customers arrive according to a poisson process with two different rates. The service rates at both echelons are independent of each other. The service times of customers is assumed to be completed in two stages. The service times at each stage are exponentially distributed. At the first stage, the customers may balk ...

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 ...

Equipping hospital beds uses a great deal of a hospital''''s resources. Therefore, it is essential to consider the hospital beds'''' efficiency. To increase its efficiency, a fuzzy unrestricted model for managing hospital expenses is presented in this paper. The lack of beds in hospitals leads to patients’ admission loss and consecutively profit loss. On the other hand, increasing the bed count...
