Abstract
The effects of the moments of the retrial time to the system performance measures such as blocking probability, mean and standard deviation of the number of customers in service facility and orbit are numerically investigated. The results reveal some performance measures related with the number of customers in orbit can be severely affected by the fourth or higher moments of retrial time.
