M/M/1 Queueing systems with inventory

摘要

We derive stationary distributions of joint queue length and inventory processes in explicit product form for various M/M/1-systems with inventory under continuous review and different inventory management policies, and with lost sales. Demand is Poisson, service times and lead times are exponentially distributed. These distributions are used to calculate performance measures of the respective systems. In case of infinite waiting room the key result is that the limiting distributions of the queue length processes are the same as in the classical M/M/1/∞-system.
