A Maclaurin-series expansion approach to coupled queues with phase-type distributed service times

Abstract: We propose an efficient numerical scheme for the evaluation of large-scale Markov processes that have a generator matrix that reduces to a triangular matrix when a certain rate is sent to zero. The methodology at hand is motivated by coupled queueing systems. Such systems are a natural abstraction for kitting processes in assembly systems and consist of multiple parallel buffers. The buffers are coupled in the sense that departures from the different buffers are synchronised and that there is no service if any… Show more

“…where if a=b δ(a,b)=1 ; 8 otherwise δ(a,b)=0; 9 let V be the set of target value(v ); 10 end while } In order to assign the weights, we introduce the Maclaurin series [52] for the exponential function e x with the formula (3) in this paper. Given that x =1 and divided by e on both sides of the equation ( 3), then we have the equation (4).…”

“…This modification considerably complicates performance assessments, as the corresponding stochastic model now consists of two coupled 'queues': a decoupling inventory and an order backlog. See, e.g., [27][28][29][30] for other applications of coupled queueing systems and [31][32][33][34] for Markovian systems that include both queueing and inventory management. The performance of this hybrid MTS/MTO system is assessed when the same production capacity is used for MTS and MTO.…”
