An assembly-like production system which has two parallel stations in the first stage followed by a single station in the second stage is analysed to study the various measures of system performance. A mathematical model is developed using semi-regenerative phenomena and system of convolution integral equations satisfied by various state probabilities are obtained. An iterative numerical technique is used to solve the system of integral equations obtained.
