Abstract

In this article, a continuous review finite-source inventory system with single-server service facility is studied. The arrival of customers for unit item follows quasi-random process. The service time to process the item follows phase-type distribution. (s, S) policy is adopted for replenishing an order. The lead time follows phase-type distribution. An arriving customer who finds waiting hall full, (s)he either enters into the pool or leaves the system immediately according to a Bernoulli trial. A pooled customer is selected according to a prefixed selection policy. The joint probability distribution of the inventory level, number of customers in the pool and number of customers in the waiting hall is obtained in the steady-state case. Various stationary system performance measures are derived and total expected cost rate is calculated. Some numerical examples including optimality of the total expected cost rate are also presented.
