Abstract:

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 additional servers on the basis of FCFS queue discipline. The explicit formula to determine the number of customers in the queue has been obtained. Numerical illustration has been provided to validate the analytical results established. Graphs are drawn for expected number of customers in the system and probability of all additional servers being busy in order to visualize the effect of various parameters.

M 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...

Optimization of M G 1 Queue with Vacation (TECHNICAL NOTE)

This paper reports on the minimization of the average waiting time of the customers in the M/G/1 queue with vacation. Explicit formula for the unknown service parameter of a particular customer has been obtained by considering the exhaustive service discipline in the case of multi-user with unlimited service system. Moreover, results in case of partially gated and gated service disciplines unde...

(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...

A Note on the M/M/∞ Queue in Random Environment

We show that, for the M/M/∞ queue in a Markovian random environment, the joint probability distribution function (pdf) of the two variables: random phase and number of customers in the system, is equal to the product of the corresponding marginal pdfs if and only if the ratio of arrival rate to service rate is the same for all phases. We explicitly derive this joint pdf. Furthermore, for the ge...

Transient Solution of an M/M/1 Variant Working Vacation Queue with Balking

This paper presents the transient solution of a variant working vacation queue with balking. Customers arrive according to a Poisson process and decide to join the queue with probability $b$ or balk with $bar{b} = 1-b$. As soon as the system becomes empty, the server takes working vacation. The service times during regular busy period and working vacation period, and vacation times are assumed ...
