Abstract. The aim of the present paper is to build a simulation program to investigate finite-source retrial queuing system with collision of the customers where the server is subject to random breakdowns and repairs depending on whether it is idle or busy. All the random variables involved in the model construction are assumed to be independent and generally distributed. The novelty of the investigation is to carry sensitivity analysis of the performance measures using various distributions. Several figures show the effect of different distributions on the performance measures such as mean and variance of number of customers in the system, mean and variance of response time, mean and variance of time a customer spent in service, mean and variance of sojourn time in the orbit.
