This paper considers a single non‐reliable server in the ordinary M/G/1 queueing system whose arrivals form a Poisson process and service times are generally distributed. We also study a single removable and non‐reliable server in the controllable M/G/1 queueing systems operating under the N policy, the T policy and the Min( N , T ) policy. It is assumed that the server breaks down according to a Poisson process and the repair time has a general distribution. In three control policies, we show that the probability that the server is busy in the steady‐state is equal to the traffic intensity. It is shown that the optimal N policy and the optimal Min( N , T ) policy are always superior to the optimal T policy. Sensitivity analysis is also investigated.
