Analysis and Modeling of Manufacturing Systems is a set of papers on some of the newest research and applications of mathematical and computational techniques to manufacturing systems and supply chains. These papers deal with fundamental questions (how to predict factory performance: how to...

Multi-server, finite buffer, performance models of queueing systems are very useful tools for manufacturing, telecommunication, transportation and facility modelling applications. Exact computation of performance measures for general service multi-server queueing systems remains an intractable...

This book applies stochastic models and analytical techniques to such areas of manufacturing as facilities planning, transportation and material handling systems, production scheduling, logistics, supply chain management and productivity and quality models.
