摘要

This study examines the Geo/G/1 queue in a service facility associated with (s, Q) inventory policy. Each demand requests for single item. The stock is replenished by an outside supplier, and the lead time for the replenishment is determined by geometric distribution. Demands must wait in an infinite waiting area during stock-out period. The joint probability distribution of the number of demands in the system and the number of items in stock at post-departure epoch is found using the matrix-analytic method. We use a supplementary variable as the remaining service time of a demand to determine the joint probability distribution at outside observer’s epoch. We conduct the waiting time analysis using the probability distribution at random epoch. We obtain the performance measures to construct the cost function. We numerically find the optimum values of the order quantity and reordering point for various model parameters. A comparative study is also accomplished by performing simulation study for the queueing-inventory model under discussion.
