In this paper, a split production system with two parallel stations in the second stage is analysed in connection with the utilization of the production system. A mathematical model is developed using semi-regenerative phenomena and systems of convolution integral equations satisfied by various state probabilities are obtained. An iterative numerical technique is used to solve the systems of integral equations obtained.
