- Abstract
- In manufacturing, a single batch server can often group a number of customers that require the same type of service. In this paper, a shared queue without customer reordering is used in order to reduce the variability of throughput time of material throughout the manufacturing process which guarantees a global First-Come-First-Served (FCFS) service discipline. This is a significant difference with the more common polling systems where each type of customer has a dedicated queue. The batch server in this paper has a variable service capacity that depends on the classes of the customers in the queue. This paper extends previous work by considering a general number of N customer classes. During the analysis, we focus on the system occupancy of this system at random slot boundaries.
