Abstract

Based on the background of the manufacturing system, this paper proposes an M/G/1 queuing model with maintenance strategy and different arrival rates, in which the server begins its service under the control of $N$-policy. Firstly, using the renewal process theory, total probability decomposition technique and Laplace transform, we study the transient properties of the queue length at any time $t$, and obtain the expressions of the Laplace transform of the transient queue size distribution with respect to time $t$. Then, on the basis of the transient analysis, the recursive formulas of the steady-state queue-length distribution are presented by employing L'Hospital's rule. Finally, applying the renewal reward theory, the explicit expression of the long-run expected cost per unit time of the system is obtained under a given cost structure, and numerical examples are provided to discuss the optimal control policy that the server begins its service and optimal maintenance strategy.
