Abstract |
|
|
| In this paper, we developed a model of a retrial inventory system in which there exists two-stage service. The demanded
item is delivered to the customer after a random time of service. The interarrival times of customers, lead times, the retrial times and
service times are assumed to have independent exponential distribution. The joint probability distribution of the number of customers in
the system and the inventory level is obtained in the steady state case. Some important system performance measures and the long run
total expected cost rate are calculated. We numerically demonstrate the model and investigate the impact of different model-parameters
on the optimal decisions. |
