Summary :

This paper considers a two-counter tandem queuing system attended by a moving server with walking time. The first queue capacity is infinite, but the second queue capacity is equal to a finite number, N. A walking time, with a general distribution is required whenever the server moves from one counter to the other. The server continues servicing at the first counter until N services have been effected without interruption, or until the first queue becomes empty, whichever comes first. After completing the services at the first counter, the server moves to the second counter, and it serves all of the calls in the second queue before coming back to the first counter. The arrival process is assumed to be Poission and the service processes are independent renewal processes. Under steady-state conditions, it tbtains a Laplace-Stieltjes transform for the total sojourn time a call stays in the system, until the completion of sequential services at the two counters. It also acquires the first moment of the server's cycle time, the server's occupancy and the walking time percentage.
