A Bibliography on Queueing Models for Manufacturing

Introduction

This document contains a bibliography of 364 articles and books (as of December 1, 1999) related to queueing models for manufacturing. The articles are not currently categorized, and are listed in the alphabetical order (according to the first author).

I have electronic versions of the abstracts for most of the articles, but am unable to post these due to copyright restrictions. If you would like me to send you the abstract for any of the articles, write to me at robinson@jkrconsult.com. Unfortunately, I am not able to provide paper copies of any of the documents.
