SB Gershwin, JE Schor - Annals of Operations research, 2000 - Springer
This paper describes efficient algorithms for determining how buffer space should be allocated in a flow line. We analyze two problems: a primal problem, which minimizes total …
Flow production lines with finite buffer capacities are used in practice for mass production, eg, in the automotive and food industries. The decision regarding the allocation of buffer …
Queueing network models have been widely applied as a powerful tool for modelling, performance evaluation, and prediction of discrete flow systems, such as computer systems …

We describe and analyze a discipline called kanban for the coordination of cells in a large- scale manufacturing facility. There are many cells in a tandem configuration and a fixed …

Abstract The Buffer Allocation Problem (BAP) is a difficult stochastic, integer, nonlinear programming problem. In general, the objective function and constraints of the problem are …
A manufacturing facility consisting of two stations in tandem operates in a make-to-stock mode: After production, items are placed in a finished goods inventory that services an …
JA Buzacott, JG Shanthikumar - Queueing systems, 1992 - Springer
Abstract Design issues in various types of manufacturing systems such as flow lines, automatic transfer lines, job shops, flexible machining systems, flexible assembly systems …
We present a robust generalized queuing network algorithm as an evaluative procedure for optimizing production line configurations using simulated annealing. We compare the …
