Study of a Four-Server Feedback Queuing Model with Finite Chances of Customer Returns to Any Server
Abstract
A queuing model has been created for a system with four servers, allowing customers to return to any server. Each customer can revisit upto finie number of times and may need services from one or all servers. If a customer requires assistance from multiple servers, they will first go to the first server and then can choose to visit either of the other three. After receiving service from any server, the customer can either return to another server or exit the system based on their satisfaction. The likelihood of a customer leaving a server changes with each visit, differing from their previous departure probability. The Mean Queue Length of the system is calculated from the steady state equations developed from the model.
