Abstract

This paper analyses Bi-level Threshold policy for a bulk arrival queueing system with single second optional service facility and multiple vacation. In the present model the server is subject to break down during the service. Then it is sent for repair immediately and the customer just being served, waits in the service facility for the server to return from repair facility and then to complete the remaining service. The Probability Generating Functions of the system is derived using supplementary variable technique. Moreover, some important performance measures of this model are also presented with some numerical examples.
