The Behavior of Some Design Factors in a Parallel Production Line
نویسنده
چکیده
The effect of the various design factors on the production rate in a parallel line is discussed by a Markov model and the difference of the effect between parallel lines and series lines is represented. A simple and effective scale is proposed to evaluate the availability of a parallel line and the production rate of a parallel line is approximately estimated by the scale and the relation between the production rates and the buffer capacities in a series line.
