RT Journal Article T1 Analysis of a multiserver queue with setup times A1 Artalejo Rodríguez, Jesús Manuel A1 Economou, Antonis A1 López Herrero, María Jesús AB This paper deals with the analysis of an M/M/c queueing system with setup times. This queueing model captures the major characteristics of phenomena occurring in production when the system consists in a set of machines monitored by a single operator.We carry out an extensive analysis of the system including limiting distribution of the system state, waiting time analysis, busy period and maximum queue length.
