Markov Models of Queueing–Inventory Systems with Variable Order Size

Cybernetics and Systems Analysis Aims and scope

Abstract

Markov models of queueing–inventory systems with variable order size are investigated. Two classes of models are considered: with instant service and with nonzero service time. The model with nonzero service time assumes that impatient customers can form a queue of either finite or infinite length. The exact and approximate methods are developed to calculate the characteristics of the systems under proposed restocking policy.
