Abstract
In this paper, we develop an approximation method for throughput in tandem queues with multiple independent reliable servers at each stage and finite buffers between service stations. We consider the blocking after service (BAS) blocking protocol of each service stage. The service time distribution of each server is exponential. The approximation is based on the decomposition of the system into a set of coupled subsystems which are modeled by two-stage tandem queue with two buffers and are analyzed by using the level dependent quasi-birth-and-death (LDQBD) process.
