| Keywords: | bottlenecks |
A real system is considered consisting of production and transportation subsystems, as well as storage and receiver. A mathematical description is proposed of the bottleneck in such a system. Effective formulae and their analysis are presented; they characterize the bottleneck and the conveyor function for the two-stage production process.
