Queuing Systems: Theory and Manufacturing Applications

Catalog description

Description: Review of probability, stochastic processes, and Markov chains. Single-server and multi-server exponential queuing models. Queuing models with Poisson arrivals and general service times. Product form queuing network models: open and closed network models, mean value analysis algorithms for closed models, and single class and multiclass models. Approximations for general single server queues and non-product form networks. Applications of queuing models in the performance analysis of transfer lines, automatic assembly systems, and flexible manufacturing systems.
