摘要
We describe all possible asymptotic behavior of "bucket brigade" production lines with two or three workers, each characterized by a constant work velocity. The results suggest wariness in interpreting simulation results. They also suggest a strategy for partitioning a workforce into effective teams to staff the lines.
