Output processes emanating from exit arcs in a mulitple server open Jackson network with node i having $s_i$ servers are determined. Beutler and Melamed (1978) showed, for traffics on all exit arcs of single server open Jackson network in equilibrium, that the customer streams leaving any exit set are Poisson and that the collections over all nodes which yield the Poisson departure processes are mutually independent. In this paper we generalize the above results to multiple servers open Jackson network in equilibrium. While no weak limit result is possible under the equilibrium condition, nonetheless approximations to the distributions of maximum queue lengths for no feedback nodes in multiple servers open Jackson network are established.

We present two decomposition approximations for the mean sojourn times in open single class queing networks. If there is a single bottleneck station, the approximations are asymptotically exact in both light and heavy traffic. When applied to a Jackson network or an M/G/1 queue, these approximations are exact for all values of the traffic intensity.

Consider a job shop that is modelled as an open queueing network of the Jackson(l957) type. All work stations in the shop have the same number of parallel servers. Two problems are studied : the loading of stations and the assignment of servers, which are represented by loading and assingment vectors, respectively. Ma jorization and arrangement orderings are established to order, respectively, the loading and the assignment vectors. It is shown that reducing the loading vector under ma jorizat ion or increasing the assignment vector under arrangement ordering will reduce the congestion in the shop in terms of reducing the total number of jobs(in the sense of likelihood ratio ordering), the maximum queue length(in the sense of stochastic ordering), and the queue-length vector( in the sense of stochastic majorization). The results can be used to supprot production planning in certain job shops, and to aid the desing of storage capacity.
