Queueing Networks Modeling Software for Manufacturing

چکیده
This paper reviews the evolution of queueing networks software and its use in manufacturing. In particular, we will discuss two different groups of software tools. First, there are queueing networks software packages which require a good level of familiarity with the theory. In the other hand, there are some packages designed for manufacturing where the model development process is automated. Issues related to practical considerations will be adressed and recommendations will be given.

| Queueing networks with fork/join mechanisms and nite-capacity buuers are of interest because they are suited to modeling and evaluating the performance of a large class of discrete event systems such as manufacturing systems (e.g., manufacturing ow lines, assembly lines, kan-ban controlled manufacturing systems). In a recent paper, Dallery, Liu and Towsley 14] considered a special class of qu...
متن کاملQueueing theory in manufacturing systems analysis and design: A classification of models for production and transfer lines
Queueing network modeling of manufacturing systems has been addressed by a large number of researchers. The purpose of this paper is to provide a bibliography of material concerned with modeling of production and transfer lines using queueing networks. Both production and transfer lines have a product-flow layout and are used in mass manufacturing. We denote production lines as flow lines with ...
متن کاملMulti-Objective Lead Time Control in Multistage Assembly Systems (TECHNICAL NOTE)
In this paper we develop a multi-objective model to optimally control the lead time of a multistage assembly system. The multistage assembly system is modeled as an open queueing network, whose service stations represent manufacturing or assembly operations. The arrival processes of the individual parts of the product, which should be assembled to each other in assembly stations, are assumed to...
متن کاملState-of-the-art Survey Open Queueing Networks: Optimization and Performance Evaluation Models for Discrete Manufacturing Systems *
In this survey we review methods to analyze open queueing network models for discrete manufacturing systems. We focus on design and planning models for job shops. The survey is divided in two parts: in the first we review exact and approximate decomposition methods for performance evaluation models for single and multiple product class networks. The second part reviews optimization models of th...
متن کاملAn Analytical Approximation for the Throughput of a Closed Fork/Join Network with Multi-Station Input Subnetworks
Fork/join stations are used for modeling synchronization between entities, and fork/join queueing networks are natural models for a variety of communication and manufacturing systems: Parallel computer networks, fabrication/assembly systems, supply chains and material control strategies for manufacturing systems. Exact solutions of general fork/join networks can only be obtained by using numeri...
