Abstract: Abstract This chapter considers a series of two systems where the arriving units are treated in one system and then in another system in a tandem way. This could be patients arriving to a medical center where the first system is filling out the paper and insurance forms, and the second system is receiving the medical attention. The probability on the number of units in the system, and the basic performance measures of the system are developed. Examples are presented.
