Abstract

We consider a batch arrival queueing system with three stage heterogeneous service provided by a single server with different (arbitrary) service time distributions. Each customer undergoes three stages of heterogeneous service. As soon as the completion of third stage of service, if the customer is dissatisfied with his service, he can immediately join the tail of the original queue. The vacation period has two heterogeneous phases. After service completion of a customer the server may take a phase one Bernoulli vacation. Further, after completion of phase one Bernoulli vacation the server may take phase two optional vacation. The vacation times are assumed to be general. In addition we assume restricted admissibility of arriving batches in which not all batches are allowed to join the system at all times. The time dependent probability generating functions have been obtained in terms of their Laplace transforms and the corresponding steady state results have been obtained explicitly. Also the mean number of customers in the queue and the system are also derived. Some particular cases and numerical results are discussed.

Highlights

  • During the last three or four decades, queueing models with vacations had been the subject of interest to queueing theorists of deep study because of their applicability and theoretical structures in real life situations such as manufacturing and production systems, computer and communication systems, service and distribution systems, etc

Summary

INTRODUCTION

During the last three or four decades, queueing models with vacations had been the subject of interest to queueing theorists of deep study because of their applicability and theoretical structures in real life situations such as manufacturing and production systems, computer and communication systems, service and distribution systems, etc. Madan and Choudhury 2005, have studied a single server queue with two phase of heterogeneous service under Bernoulli schedule and a general vacation time. In some queueing systems with batch arrival there is a restriction such that not all batches are allowed to join the system at all time. Madan and Choudhury 2005 proposed anqueueing system with restricted admissibilty of arriving batches and Bernoulli schedule server vacation. We consider a batch arrival queueing system with three stage heterogeneous service provided by a single server with different (arbitrary) service time distributions.
