Abstract

We study the effect of the order of service stations on the departure process in a tandem system with finite buffers and blocking. A reversibility result for a twostation system with various types of blocking mechanisms has been shown before. We show that a similar result holds for a three‐station tandem system with no buffers between stations and a so‐called communication type of blocking. A general conjecture is stated regarding the reversibility of tandem systems with finite buffers and blocking. © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
