Abstract

We study a multiple heterogeneous servers queuing model with customers’ impatience and retention of impatient customers where the service is provided by multiple heterogeneous servers. The transient solution of the model is derived by using probability generating function technique. Some important measures of performance are studied. A numerical example is provided to study the stability analysis of the system. Further, a comparative analysis is performed between the heterogeneous servers queuing model and the homogeneous servers queuing model and it is found that the heterogeneous servers queuing model performs better. The stationary probabilities of the number of customers in the system are also derived. At the end, some particular cases of the model are discussed.
