A heuristic algorithm is developed for approximating the tandem behavior of a finite capacity G/M/1 queueing system with generally distributed interarrival time, a single Markovian server, and the first come first served queueing discipline, in steady state. Furthermore, numerical results are provided and the approximation outcomes are compared against those from a simulation study.
