The purpose of this paper is to extend earlier results on the bounds on queues with delayed generalised exponential arrivals. The bounds are derived using the curves proposed by Kaperevich and Kreinin. Arrivals of this type can be used to represent the output of automated manufacturing processes. There is a minimum time required to perform the manufacturing task on a job, and a given probability that the machine fails. When it fails, the repair time has an exponential distribution.
