An Approximation Method for Tandem Queues with Blocking

Operations Research, 1988
We propose an approximate analysis of open systems of tandem queues with blocking caused by finite buffers between servers. Our approach relies on the use of marginal probability distributions (“state equivalence”) coupled with an approximate evaluation of the conditional probabilities introduced through the equivalence.

Moments in Tandem Queues

Operations Research, 1998
We settle a conjecture concerning necessary conditions for finite mean steady-state customer delay at the second node of a tandem queue, using as an example a stable tandem queue with mutually independent i.i.d. interarrival and service times. We assume that the service times have infinite variance at the first node, finite variance at the second node,

Tandem Conveyor Queues

Probability in the Engineering and Informational Sciences, 1989
This paper analyzes a queueing system in which a constant-speed conveyor brings new items for service and carries away served items. The conveyor is a sequence of cells each able to hold at most one item. At each integer time, a new cell appears at the queue's input position.

Tandem Queues with Planned Inventories

Operations Research, 1992
This paper explores a natural generalization of the classic tandem-queue model, designed specifically to represent make- to-stock production processes. In such systems, intermediate and finished goods can be produced and stored in advance of demand.

CONVEXITY IN TANDEM QUEUES

Probability in the Engineering and Informational Sciences, 2004
We derive convexity results and related properties for the value functions of tandem queuing systems. The results for standard multiserver queues are new. For completeness, we also prove and generalize existing results on tandems of controllable queues. The results can be used to compare queuing systems.
