Abstract
Queuing networks can be used to model maintained systems. Under many conditions, closed-network queuing theory can be applied to ascertain the availability of such systems. Multi-echelon repairable-item inventory systems are one such class. Problems of common interest to the reliability, queuing, and inventory communities are highlighted, and solution techniques for these problems are presented.
