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...

We show that long-run average cost function for the (R, T) policy with normally distributed demand has a structure similar to that of the corresponding (Q, r) model so that many of the useful properties of the latter model are applicable. In particular, (i) the optimal cost is relatively insensitive to the choice of the reorder interval, T, provided a near-optimal R corresponding to the chosen ...
