This paper, analyzes the allocation problem of customers in a discrete-time multi-server queueing system and considers two criteria for routing customers' selections: equilibrium and social optimization. As far as we know, there is no literature concerning the discrete-time multi-server models on the subject of equilibrium behaviors of customers and servers. Comparing the results of customers' distribution at the servers under the two criteria, we show that the servers used in equilibrium are no more than those used in the socially optimal outcome, that is, the individual's decision deviates from the socially preferred one. Furthermore, we also clearly show the mutative trend of several important performance measures for various values of arrival rate numerically to verify the theoretical results.

This paper analyzes the unloader queueing model in which N identical trailers are unloaded by R unreliable unloaders. Steady-state analytic solutions are obtained with the assumptions that trip times, unloading times, finishing times, breakdown times, and repair times have exponential distributions. A cost model is developed to determine the optimal values of the number of unloaders and the finishing rate simultaneously, in order to minimize the expected cost per unit time. Numerical results are provided in which several steady-state characteristics of the system are calculated based on assumed numerical values given to the system parameters and the cost elements. Sensitivity analysis is also studied.
