Abstract

An approximation method for M/M type tandem queueing systems, in which the number of customers in each stage is restricted to a finite level and also the total number of customers in the system is limited, is presented. It is tested through several examples in comparison with exact results or simulation. Moreover interesting features in allocation of stages are also shown.
