Queueing models were successfully applied for material handling and production systems. Stochastic effects are frequently disregarded when designing material handling or production systems. Based on this knowledge it is possible to identify areas of improvement in material handling systems. It is also a useful supplement in Masters and Ph.D. courses for students interested in engineering and operations management.. The book helps practitioners to understand the major influences for inventory and lead times. The book bridges the gap between stochastic modelling and practical engineering by combining the theoretical background with modelling examples in several application domains. Cause and effects for response times are derived
