Abstract:	We survey a method initiated by one of us in the 1990's for finding bounds and representations for the rate of convergence of a birth-death process. We also present new results obtained by this method for some specific birth-death processes related to mean-field models and to the $M/M/N/N+R$ service system. The new findings pertain to the asymptotic behaviour of the rate of convergence as the number of states tends to infinity.
