Abstract

We consider a queueing system with two stations served by a single server in a cyclic manner. We assume that at most one customer can be served at a station when the server arrives at the station. The system is subject to service interuption that arises from server breakdown. When a server breakdown occurs, the server must be repaired before service can resume. We obtain the approximate mean delay of customers in the system. © 1990 J.C. Baltzer A.G. Scientific Publishing Company.
