Flow line design is one of the major tasks in production
management. The decision to install a set of machines and buffers
is often highly irreversible. It determines both cost and revenue
to a large extent. In order to assess the economic impact of any
possible flow line design, production rates and inventory levels
have to be estimated. These performance measures depend on the
allocation of buffers whenever the flow of material is occasionally
disrupted, for example due to machine failures or quality problems.
The book describes analytical methods that can be used to evaluate
flow lines much faster than with simulation techniques. Based on
these fast analytical techniques, it is possible to determine a
flow line design that maximizes the net present value of the flow
line investment. The flow of material through the line may be
non-linear, for example due to assembly operations or quality
inspections.
