Cover Story: Degradation of services is very common, especially in production, manufacturing, and service industries. This is due to a variety of reasons, including the wear and tear of machinery and fatigue of operators/servers. In this paper, we study MAP/PH/1-type queueing models with degradation of services. Starting from normal service rates, degradation results in reduced service rates and then resets to normal. Two types of reset to normalcy are considered in this paper. Classical Neuts’ matrix-analytic methods are employed to analyze the model in steady state. Illustrative numerical examples are presented. View this paper
