Abstract

In a multi server queuing system, buffer size is often larger than the number of servers.This necessitates queuing and waiting for some customers. Customers become impatient whilewaiting for service. Additionally, they may also become impatient if service is notoffered at the desired rate. This paper analyses a finite buffer multi server queuingsystem with the additional restriction that customers may balk as well as renege. Closedform expressions of a number of performance measures are presented. A design problem isdiscussed to demonstrate the results derived.
