Abstract: The customer waiting time distribution is derived for an S − 1, S continuous review inventory system experiencing Poisson demands and general independent identically distributed lead times. The analysis uses results from the infinite server Poisson queue. Some comparisons are made with an approximation to the waiting time distribution due to Higa et al.
