Abstract

Consider a system with M different machines and s identical operators. No machine can work without the constant attention of an operator and all operators can serve all machines. At machine m jobs arrive according to a Poisson arrival process with rate λ m and service time distribution F m .A job arriving at machine m can be served at machine m only. Whenever an operator finishes a job a decision has to be taken about the machine where he should go to next.
