Abstract

This paper introduces the performance measures computation of a single server fuzzy retrial queue with breakdowns and repairs by a new technique called flexible method. This one uses only one fuzzy arithmetic instead of two arithmetics used by mathematical nonlinear programming method. Basing on this approach, some characteristics as expected customers number in the queue, in the orbit or in the entire system can be computed successfully, and results are the same than those obtained by other methods.
