چکیده

In this investigation, we deal with performance prediction of machining system with heterogeneous servers working under N-policy. To make multi-component system more reliable and efficient, the facility of cold and warm spares has been provided and the switching failure is taken into consideration. The impatient behaviors i.e. balking and reneging of failed machines are also included to make the investigation more versatile and realistic. The governing Chapman-Kolmogorov’s differential equations are also developed using Conservation Law of Rates. Various performance indices are derived from the state probabilities evaluated by using successive over relaxation (SOR) technique which deals with simultaneous linear equations efficiently and converges more rapidly. Numerical results are also provided to give insight about the problem. To explore the effects of system descriptors, the sensitivity analysis is conducted and results are depicted in tables and graphs. This paper significantly reveals optimal number of failed operating units to initiate service based on cost analysis and prompts worthy parameter of different characteristics of machines and servers.

(m, M) Machining system with two unreliable servers, mixed spares and common-cause failure

This paper deals with multi-component machine repair model having provision of warm standby units and repair facility consisting of two heterogeneous servers (primary and secondary) to provide repair to the failed units. The failure of operating and standby units may occur individually or due to some common cause. The primary server may fail partially following full failure whereas secondary se...

Vacation model for Markov machine repair problem with two heterogeneous unreliable servers and threshold recovery

Markov model of multi-component machining system comprising two unreliable heterogeneous servers and mixed type of standby support has been studied. The repair job of broken down machines is done on the basis of bi-level threshold policy for the activation of the servers. The server returns back to render repair job when the pre-specified workload of failed machines is build up. The first (seco...

M M m K Queue With Additional Servers and Discouragement (RESEARCH NOTE)

Waiting in long queue is undesirable due to which in some practical situations customers become impatient and leave the system. In such cases providing additional servers can reduce long queue. This investigation deals with multi-server queueing system with additional servers and discouragement. The customers arrive in poisson fashion and are served exponentially by a pool of permanent and addi...

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...

Two-Heterogeneous Server Markovian Queueing Model with Discouraged Arrivals, Reneging and Retention of Reneged Customers

 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...
