We consider Markovian models of discrete materials flow production systems. The transient behavior of a production line …

In this paper we address the stochastic cyclic scheduling problem in synchronous assembly and production lines …. Synchronous lines are widely used in the production and assembly of various goods such as automobiles and household appliances. We …

We consider production systems that can be modeled as Markov chains. A methodology to determine the exact distribution … of the number of parts produced by a production system during a fixed time interval and also the exact distribution of … desired service level, to evaluate the due-time performance of production systems, and to derive other performance measures …

A production line with random processing times and no interstation buffers is considered. The jobs are scheduled …
