Abstract

This study employs a simulation-based design methodology to investigate the performance of two models of manufacturing systems. In the first model, the dynamic behaviour of a single parallel-machine stage with unreliable work stations is modelled as a Markov process. A similar analytical method for evaluating the performance of a buffered production line is presented in the second model. A simple approach towards coding and simulating the models is presented, and numerical examples based on these simulation models indicate that the approach is viable. © 2007 Springer-Verlag.
