This paper reviews a cyclic scheduling model of repetitive manufacturing environments consisting of exible machines and multi-stage jobs. We explicitly model two system performance measures, throughput and ow time, while incorporating variability arising from uncertainty in operation processing times. We present an iterative approximation scheme to estimate the two moment behavior of our perfor...
