In this paper, the manufacturing lead time in a production system with maintenance period, non-renewal BMAP (Batch Markovian Arrival process) input and bilevel threshold control is analyzed. The factorization principle is used to derive the distribution of the manufacturing lead time and the mean value. A numerical example is provided to see the effect of the non-renewal input on the system performance.
