Abstract

:
In this research, we look at the work associated with the encouraged arrival line with feedback, balking and maintaining reneged clients. We analyse the quality control policy for the Markovian model using an iterative method to the nth customer in the system. We derive performance measures for the expected number of units in the system, as well as in the queue and the average number of occupied services and the expected waiting time in the system, as well as in the queue. To show the effectiveness, we provide numerical examples for the average default rate and average retention rate. The developed formula also satisfies Little’s formula.

1. Introduction

A queue in operations research signifies a certain number of clients waiting for service. In most cases, the consumer being served is not regarded as being in line. The queue’s characteristics are described by queueing theory. In everyday life, everyone has to wait in a line or queue, whether it is at a food court, a clinic, or a bank cashier. It can be fascinating at times, but it is often frustrating for both the consumer and the service provider. Understanding queues or lines is one of the most critical aspects of operation research management.
Queuing theory as an area of research was introduced by A.K. Erlang. The customer enters a queue. Balking and reneging have been discussed [1,2], respectively. The mingled impact of the finite capacity queue of balking and reneging has been derived by [3,4].
An M/M/1/N queuing model with quality control policy and optimal policies are discussed [5]. Ref. [6] discussed an M/M/1/N with reneging and general balking distribution. Ref. [7] studied in quality control and an M/G/1 queue-like production system was discussed. Ref. [8] derived an optimal admission Markov queue under the quality of service constraints.
An M/M/1/N queuing system and Markovian feedback queue discussion about retention and reneged customers is found in [9]; a discussion around M/M/1/N queuing system and balking with the retention of reneged customers queuing model is found in [10], and a feedback queue with the retention of reneged customers has been discussed in [11]. An M/M/1/N queuing system and reverse balking is discussed in [12]; an M/M/1/N queuing system with encouraged arrival has been studied in [13]. An M/M/1/N quality control feedback with balking and retention of reneged customers has been discussed in [14]. Basic definitions of queuing theory be found in [15]. Impact of prioritization on the outpatient queuing system in the emergency department with limited medical resources has been studied [16]. A comparison between bivariate statistical models has been studied [17]. An MMAP/(PH.PH)/1 Queue with priority loss through feedback has been studied [18]
The goal of this study is to optimize various parameters in the quality control of a single server, including the encouraged arrivals in balking, retention, and reneging customers through a steady-state condition. This paper is arranged as follows: Notation and Mathematical model formulation is delivered in Section 2. A deal with performance measure and special cases in Section 3. We discuss about model Elaboration relation and solution of this model in Section 4. Section 5 deals with Main result and discussion, limitations. Conclusion is provided in Section 6.

2. Mathematical Model Formulation

The Following Were Assumed to Describe the Mathematical Model

  • Customers arrive one by one to a Poisson discipline process with rate λ 1 + η , where η represents past or observed data calculated by the customer. If a past organisation offered discounts and percentages, the number of customers observed values rise to η = 0.5 and η = 1.2, respectively.
  • Service time is exponential and identically distributed.
  • Customers follows the first in first out discipline.
  • After the completion of service, customers join at the end of the original queue as feedback with probability (1 − q).
  • The probability that a processing job is defective in the system with probability q.
  • For the feedback situation, g n , could be a random event such that g n   = 1 reflects the event that there are N jobs in the system and g n   = 0 otherwise for 0 ≤ nN. After joining a queue, for service to begin the probability is (1 − p).
  • If the service has not begun, the customer will leave the queue without getting service, as an impatient customer with probability (n − 1) pa for 2 ≤ nN for n = 1, the value is zero.
  • An encouraged arrival will join the queue with probability β and will not join the queue with probability:
    1 − b   , when n units are ahead 0 ≤ n ≤ 1.
    An encouraged arrival will join the queue with probability b and will not join the queue with probability:
    1 − b   , for 1   n N 1 and b = 1 otherwise.
We derive the following differential-difference equations:
d d t p 0 t   = λ 1 + η   p 0 t +   μ q g 1 p 1 t ,   n = 0
d d t p 1 t = b λ 1 + η + μ q g 1 p 1 t + λ 1 + η p 0 t + μ q g 2 + a p p 2 ,       n = 1
d d t p n t = ( b λ 1 + η + μ q g n + n 1 a p ) p n t + b λ 1 + η p n 1 t + μ q g n + 1 + n a p p n + 1 ,   1 n < N
d d t p N t = ( μ q g N + N 1 a p ) p N t + b λ 1 + η p N 1 t ,         n = N
Steady-State Solution:
λ 1 + η p 0 + μ q g 1 p 1 = 0 ,     n = 0
( b λ 1 + η + μ q g 1 ) p 1 + λ 1 + η p 0 + μ q g 2 + a p p 2 = 0 ,       n = 1
( b λ 1 + η + μ q g n + n 1 a p p n + b λ 1 + η p n 1 + μ q g n + 1 + n a p p n + 1 = 0   ,     1 < n < N
( μ q g N + N 1 a p ) p N + b λ 1 + η p N 1 = 0 ,     n = N
Solving the differential–difference Equations from (1) to (8) iteratively, we obtain,
μ q g n + 1 + n a p p n + 1 b λ 1 + η p n = μ q g n + n 1 a p p n b λ 1 + η = μ q p 2 + a p p 2 b λ 1 + η p 1 = ( μ q g 1 p 1 λ 1 + η p 0 = 0 .
Now, the value of p n is obtained as:
p n = b λ 1 + η μ q g n + n 1 a p p n 1
By using the recurrence formula given by Equation (9), the general formula is obtained as:
p n = λ 1 + η b λ 1 + η n μ q g n + n 1 a p μ q g n 1 + n 2 a p μ q g 2 + a p μ q g 1 p 0
Now, the probability of ‘n’ units in the system is given by
p n = p 0                                                       n = 0 δ n b i = 0 n 1 γ g i + 1 + i         1 n N
where δ = b λ 1 + η a p and γ = μ q a p .
Now to find the probability that there is no unit in the service, which is denoted by p 0 , we use the boundary condition 1 = n = 0 N p n .
That is, 1 =   p 0 + n = 1 N δ n b i = 0 n 1 γ g i + 1 + i   ,
p 0 1 = 1 + 1 b n = 1 N δ n i = 0 n 1 γ g i + 1 + i      

3. Performance Measures

Now we obtain the formula for various measures as given below:
The expected number of units in the system is given by:
L =   p 0 b n = 1 N n δ n i = 0 n 1 γ g i + 1 + i
The expected number of units in the queue is given by:
L q = L 1 p 0
The average number of occupied services is given by:
L s = L L q
The expected waiting time in the system is given by:
W = L λ 1 + η
and
The expected waiting time in the queue is given by:
w q = L q λ 1 + η
The Equations (14) and (15) are called Little’s formula.
The expected service time is given by:
W s = W W q = L L q λ 1 + η
The average reneging rate is given by:
R E = n = 1 N n 1 a p p n
The average maintaining rate is given by:
R e = n = 1 N n 1 a p p n

Particular Cases

Case 1: when we put a = 0 , b = 1 , p = 1, q = 1, g n = 1 , this is the quality control queue: M/M/1/N with feedback, balking and retention of reneged customers.
Case 2: when we put q = 1, g n = 1 ,     and   a = 0 ,     we get the model M/M/1/N, which is the same as Gross and Harris [15].

5. Main Result and Discussion

When compared to Poisson arrival, encouraged arrival is more effective in handling service without delays. The (Table 1, Table 2, Table 3, Table 4, Table 5, Table 6, Table 7, Table 8, Table 9, Table 10, Table 11, Table 12, Table 13, Table 14, Table 15, Table 16, Table 22, Table 23, Table 24, Table 25, Table 26, Table 27, Table 28 and Table 29) shows that L-Expected number of units in the system is lower for the model prescribed here on comparing with the Poisson arrival model. It is also found that the Table 17, Table 18, Table 19 and Table 20 shows that adopting encouraged arrivals as well as increasing discounts in place of the model with Poisson arrival, greatly reduces W—the expected waiting time in the system.

Limitations

  • This concept only suitable for M/M/1/N and M/M/1/K Queuing model;
  • This concept will reduce the waiting time of customers for M/M/1/N Queuing model;
  • This concept is valid for all real life applications with single service mechanism;
  • The real life applications are always with finite capacity.

6. Conclusions

The encouraged arrival is quite valuable for many different businesses in terms of managing operations, deliberating, outlining, implementation, service development, and so on for consumers. In this study, we explored feedback, balking, retaining reneged clients and the quality control technique impact the encouraged arrival queuing model. The steady state scenario and iterative technique approach were utilized to create an analytical solution for the feedback M/M/1/N model’s quality control. From to (Table 1, Table 2, Table 3, Table 4, Table 5, Table 6, Table 7, Table 8, Table 9, Table 10, Table 11, Table 12, Table 13, Table 14, Table 15, Table 16, Table 22, Table 23, Table 24, Table 25, Table 26, Table 27, Table 28 and Table 29), the system’s waiting time is much decreased by adopting the encouraged arrivals and increasing discounts supplied instead of Poisson arrivals. Table 17, Table 18, Table 19 and Table 20 also shows that the waiting time is minimized to the greatest degree possible.
