Editorial Reviews

...a thorough introduction...an excellent research reference - Integrated Manufacturing Systems

From the Publisher

Provides an overview of past research in the modeling of manufacturing systems using queueing network models and two other closely related modeling techniques--simulation modeling and generative models for the buffer allocation problem. The emphasis is on categorizing different models according to the manufacturing system being modeled, rather than the mathematical technique used. For graduate students, faculty, and researchers in operations research and manufacturing systems engineering. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
