Computational analysis of a multi-server bulk arrival with two modes server breakdown (Q2574378)

Summary: An extensive Monte Carlo study is performed to analyze a multi-server, bulk arrival \((M^{[x]}/M/C\); \(C-1/FCFS)\) queuing system. The system breakdown limits the system to serve with either \(C\) or \((C-1)\) servers. The server breakdown has equal chance over all servers in the system while the arrival process is a Poisson process and the distribution of the bulk size \(X\) is a positive Poisson bulk size. Measures of system efficiency including mean queue length, mean waiting time, and blocking probability are introduced. Numerical results are obtained by simulation of the entire system.
