(M/EK/C:C/FCFS) Queue with Two-Class Arrivals,State dependent service, Multi-Servers, and Customers Impatience

This paper deals with the finite Markovian queueing system with multi server facility, customer impatience and two types of arrivalswith heterogeneous arrival ratesalong withphase wise state dependent service. Arrival and departures assumed to be Poisson and exponential distributionsrespectively under first-come-first-serve basis. The service will be rendered in k-phases. Transient state probabilities as well as some performance indices have been calculated.We have presented the results of sensitivity analysis and observed the impact ofvarious parameters on system’s constants

Profit analysis of the M/M/R machine repair problem with balking, reneging, and standby switching failures

We study the warm-standby M/M/R. machine repair problem where standby machines have switching failure probability q, and failed machines balk (do not enter) with a constant probability (I - b) and renege (leave the queue after entering) according to a negative exponential distribution. Failure and repair times of the machines are assumed to follow a negative exponential distribution. A profit model is developed in order to determine the optimal values of the number of spares and the number of repairmen simultaneously, while maintaining a minimum specified level of system availability. We use the two methods direct search method and steepest descent method to find the global maximum value until the availability, balking and reneging constraints are satisfied. Numerical results are provided in which various system performance measures are calculated under optimal operating conditions. Sensitivity analysis is also investigated. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd.
