COMMENTS ON A PAPER BY A. NOVAES AND E. FRANKEL, "A QUEUING MODEL FOR UNITIZED CARGO GENERATION".

Some discrepancies in an earlier paper describing a bulk service queuing situation with customer balking or reneging are pointed out. Necessary modifications to make the model more valid are incorporated in a reformulation and an approach for developing the state-time probabilities of the system is suggested. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
