In this paper we apply a new framework for the study of monotonicity in queueing systems to stochastic scheduling models. This allows us a unified treatment of many different models, among which are multiple and single server models (with and without feedback), discrete and continuous time models, models with controlled and uncontrolled arrivals, etc.
