Preface
This textbook was developed to fill the need for an accessible but comprehensive presentation of the analytical approaches for modeling and analyzing models of manufacturing and production systems. It is an out growth of the efforts within the Industrial and Systems Engineering Department at Texas A&M to develop and teach an analytically based undergraduate course on probabilistic modeling of manufacturing type systems. The level of this textbook is directed at undergraduate and masters students in engineering and mathematical sciences. The only prerequisite for students using this textbook is a previous course covering calculus-based probability and statistics. The underlying methodology is queueing theory, and we shall develop the basic concepts in queueing theory in sufficient detail that the reader need not have previously covered it. Queueing theory is a well-established discipline dating back to the early 1900’s work of A. K. Erlang, a Danish mathematician, on telephone traffic congestion. Although there are many textbooks on queueing theory, these texts are generally oriented to the methodological development of the field and exact results and not to the practical application of using approximations in realistic modeling situations.
