Abstract: Abstract This chapter explores a multi-server, finite capacity system with exponential inter-arrival and service times. An example is a beauty shop with two hair stylists and with room for only five customers in the shop. The difference, equilibrium and reduced equations are listed. The probability on n units, and the performance measures are developed. Examples are presented to guide the reader.
