Abstract: Persuaded by the applicability of queueing models, the reliability analysis and cost optimisation of M^X/M/2 system consisting of heterogeneous servers (Server1 and Server2) is discussed in this article. The Server1 is steady and reliable which leaves for vacation as soon as there is no client available in the system while Server2 is unreliable and may breakdown while giving service to the client. No sooner the server fails, immediately the repair process starts and the server works at a lower speed instead of halting. The schematic diagram of the model gives the overview of the model. The sensitivity analysis is done for validation of the model by taking a numerical illustration and the results are visualised and validated with the help of graphs. Finally, the optimal service rates are obtained using particle swarm optimisation (PSO) technique for matrix method.
