Lot Sizes, Lead Times and In-Process Inventories
TL;DR: This paper examines the relationships between lot sizes and lead times and their implications for lot sizing and work-in-process inventories, for batch manufacturing shops with queues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lotsizing in Multi-Item Multi- Machine Job Shops
TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between lot-sizing and shop performance is represented using a queueing network model which is then embedded in an optimization routine that searches for optimal lot sizes.

Decision support requirements in flexible manufacturing
Rajan Suri,Cynthia K. Whitney +1 more
TL;DR: This paper defines the components of a decision support system which will enable the user to get the maximum benefit from a flexible manufacturing system.

Robustness of queuing network formulas
TL;DR: It is shown that the main system performance measures are surpnsmgly insensitive to violations of the HST assumption, which further explains the robustness of analyacal models for predicting performance of queuing networks.

On Approximate Queueing Models of Dynamic Job Shops
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider a class of job shops with a dispatch area and a machine shop, where operational controls are exercised at the dispatch area as well as at the machine shop.

Open, Closed, and Mixed Networks of Queues with Different Classes of Customers
TL;DR: Many of the network results of Jackson on arrival and service rate dependencies, of Posner and Bernholtz on different classes of customers, and of Chandy on different types of service centers are combined and extended in this paper.

Mean-Value Analysis of Closed Multichain Queuing Networks
TL;DR: It is shown that mean queue sizes, mean waiting times, and throughputs in closed multiple-chain queuing networks which have product-form solution can be computed recursively without computing product terms and normalization constants.

Computational algorithms for closed queueing networks with exponential servers
TL;DR: Methods are presented for computing the equilibrium distribution of customers in closed queueing networks with exponential servers based on two-dimensional iterative techniques which are highly efficient and quite simple to implement.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Operational Analysis of Queueing Network Models
TL;DR: This tutorial paper presents the basic results using the operational approach, a framework which allows the analyst to test whether each assumption is met in a given system, and methods for computing basic performance quantities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Closed Queuing Systems with Exponential Servers
TL;DR: It is found that the distribution of customers in the closed queuing system is regulated by the stage or stages with the slowest effective service rate, which means that closed systems are shown to be stochastically equivalent to open systems in which the number of customers cannot exceed N.
