Abstract:
The aim of the present article is to give a historical survey of some impor-
tant research works related to queues in machining system since 2010. Queues of failed
machines in machine repairing problem occur due to the failure of machines at random in
the manufacturing industries, where di erent jobs are performed on machining stations.
Machines are subject to failure what may result in signi cant loss of production, rev-
enue, or goodwill. In addition to the references on queues in machining system, which is
also called `Machine Repair Problem' (MRP) or `Machine Interference Problem' (MIP),
a meticulous list of books and survey papers is also prepared so as to provide a detailed
catalog for understanding the research in queueing domain. We have classi ed the rele-
vant literature according to a year of publishing, methodological, and modeling aspects.
The author(s) hope that this survey paper could be of help to learners contemplating
research on queueing domain.
