Throughput Assessment of Non-Homogeneous Transfer Lines: Simulation Modeling Based Approach

摘要：

We study transfer lines composed of several machines in series. Machines are subject to random operation dependant failures. The transfer lines have no intermediate buffers between adjacent machines. Machines have different deterministic processing times. The purpose of this paper is to assess steady state availability and throughput of such non-homogeneous transfer lines. A general simulation model was developed and thousands of line configurations have been experimented to analyse the performance of some approximate models dealing with non-homogeneous transfer lines.
