Abstract: In this paper, a bulk service queueing system with variant threshold policy for secondary jobs is considered. On completion of service, if the queue length is less than 'a', the server performs a secondary job of type one, repeatedly, until the queue length reaches 'a'. On returning from a secondary job of type one, if the queue length is at least 'a', the server performs another secondary job of type two, repeatedly, until the queue length reaches the threshold value 'N' (N ≥ b > a), then the server serves a batch of 'b' customers. Various performance measures and a cost model are presented.

Keywords: bulk arrival; single server; vacations; N policy; bulk service queueing; variant threshold policy; secondary jobs; performance measures; cost modelling. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
