Technical Note—Response Time Distribution of the M/M/m/N Queueing Model

Published Online:https://doi.org/10.1287/opre.27.6.1196

We analyze the M/M/m/N queueing model with a first-come, first-served discipline and show that the distribution of response time (i.e., queueing time + service time) is asymptotically normal as N increases. The mean and variance of this normal distribution are both simple functions of the model parameters.
