Abstract

A method for calculating the smallest level of buffering (LB) was proposed to ensure the desired production rate in serial lines with unreliable machines. A buffer capacity was characterized on the basis of which rules-of-thumb was established for selecting the buffers so that production rate (PR) was 95% or 90% or 85% of PR_∞. The results were obtained using analytical calculations based on aggregation, Markov chain analysis and discrete event simulations.
