  • Abstract
    In this paper we present a survey of several methods, that are suitable for modeling service systems with inventory control. One Markovian approximation method is extended with priorities. These approaches also can be coupled with optimization algorithms, where here the Taguchi method and ant algorithms are considered and a serial four stage example is given.
