Abstract

We consider two storage/production systems in which items are produced continuously over time with fixed rate. In the first system items have infinite lifetime, while in the second system the lifetime of the items are finite and fixed. The inventory level distributions and other important functionals associated with these storage systems are derived. This derivation is accomplished by an analogy existing between the storage systems and certain queueing systems and a finite dam model. Optimization problems connected with these systems are also considered.
