Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thesis, we obtain the exact steady-state distribution of the number of customers in a GI/G/1 make-to-stock queue, therefore we observe the impact of production time variability on optimal inventory control policies. We also shed light on how system performance deteriorates more because of production stoppages and variability in repair times. We also analyze a production/inventory producing different products. We compare the performances of different scheduling policies in regard of the inventory control parameters and average system costs which are obtained by using the exact steady-state distribution of the number of customers for each static policy (first-come-first-served, preemptive and non-preemptive priority disciplines). We provide the inequalities indicating when it is optimal to switch from make-to-stock to make-to-order policy. We extend the application area of a well-known dynamic scheduling heuristic, Myopic(T), for systems with non-exponential service times. We additionally analyze inventory pooling problem in the M/G/1 make-to-stock queue.
