Consider a singleserver workstation where the server experiences preemptive nondestructive outages according to the model that was discussed in class. Jobs arrive with a rate of jobs per hour and the nominal mean processing time ie without considering the delays due to the outages is minutes. The average duration of a single outage is minutes. What is the maximal rate for the occurrence of the experienced outages that maintains the stability of the station? Please, express your result in outages per hour.
Remark: As a more general point, it is worthnoticing that the time considered in this analysis is the "operational or functional time" of the server, ie the time that it is working on jobs, since when it is idle, the counting process that generates the outages, is stopped.
