摘要
Both machine breakdowns and interstage storage can significantly affect the efficiency of a production line. In this paper we use an exact analytic model to conduct a detailed study of how these two factors affect the throughput of a line. Based on the empirical results, a simple heuristic method is given to estimate the amount of storage space required to offset the negative effect of machine breakdowns. The results provide useful guidelines for designing or analysing production line systems.
