Abstract:

In this study, we are concerned with finding the minimum-total-buffer allocation for a desired throughput in production lines with phase-type processing times. We have implemented a dynamic programming algorithm that uses a decomposition method to approximate the system throughput at every stage. We provide numerical examples to show the buffer allocation and compare the corresponding simulated throughput and its bounds with the desired throughput.
