Performance analysis of an infinite-buffer batch-size-dependent bulk service queue with server breakdown and multiple vacation.

In several manufacturing systems, server's breakdown is a common phenomenon for which renovation of the service station is required and has a definite effect on the system. The server's vacation is a significant tool to deal with the systems where a common server is shared by several users. The principal goal of this paper is to analyze a batch-service queueing model with server's breakdown, multiple vacations and batch-size-dependent service time. To be more precise, the center of attention is on the queue length together with server content distribution for which we obtain the bivariate probability generating function using supplementary variable technique. Server content distribution is very worthy for the manufacturing systems. The probabilities have been extracted and used to acquire the arbitrary epoch probabilities. In order to upgrade the qualitative aspects of the concerned model, diverse numerical results and graphical observations are illustrated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
