The  service and vacation times are exponentially distributed. The server begins service if  there are at least c units in the queue and the service takes place in batches with a  minimum of size a and a maximum of size b  a ≤ c ≤ b . The change over period follows  if there are  a − 1  customers at service completion instants. The steady state queue  length distributions at arbitrary and pre-arrival epochs are obtained. An optimal cost  policy is presented along with few numerical experiences. The genetic algorithm and  quadratic fit search method are employed to search for optimal values of some important  parameters of the system.</p></abstract>
