Queueing models of machine repair problems with control policies: a survey and analysis

This article offers a thorough review and analysis of the studies done on queueing models of machine repair problems (MRP) with various control policies. These policies govern the arrival of failed machines and the service mechanism in the queueing systems. Due to their many practical applications, queueing models of machine repair problems have drawn significant interest from researchers across the globe. Considerable efforts have been dedicated to investigating this area of research and the present article provides a mathematical framework for queueing models of machining systems, which incorporates various control policies. Furthermore, we explore the potential applications of machine repair queueing models that apply control policies and give a tabular summary of the research works listed while taking into account the models attributes and methodology used in particular investigations.
