Hartwick's (1976) modified model for the halo and Clayton's (1985, 1988) analytical inflow formalism for the disk are presently used to formulate a self-consistent, analytical chemical-evolution model for the disk and halo of the Galaxy in the solar neighborhood; both formalisms are modified to permit a time delay between the production of such elements as O, and the alpha-elements, r-process elements, and such 'delayed' elements as the s-process products. The model is found to conform well with such traditional constraints as star formation rate behavior and the G dwarf problem; model predictions also suggest that enrichment, as a function of time, is an important effect, and that the s-process is 'primary'.
