Abstract: Queuing models with discouragement, policies, and vacation have been extensively investigated due to its wide range of applications in real-life scenarios. The effectiveness of a queuing system is questioned when customers balk or renege. However, the loss of customers can be prevented up to some extent by using customer retention strategies. Also, implementing vacation and threshold policies appropriately in the system improves the servers' capacity for providing service effectively. Based on these concepts many surveys have been made on finite and infinite population queuing models. But we have observed from the queuing theory literature that surveys have not been done by combining both the finite and infinite population models. The main objective of this survey is to provide an overview of the relevant research works done on finite and infinite population models with impatience, policies and vacation. By taking into account the models and methodologies used in various research articles, we also attempt to provide an outline of the works discussed in tabular format.
