Flow production lines with finite buffer capacities are used in practice for mass production, e.g., in the automotive and food industries. The decision regarding the allocation of buffer capacities to mitigate throughput losses from stochastic processing times and unreliable stations is known as...

The allocation of buffer space in flow lines with stochastic processing times is an important decision, as buffer capacities influence the performance of these lines. The objective of this problem is to minimize the overall number of buffer spaces achieving at least one given goal production...

Das muss jeder angehende Betriebswirt wissen: Wie wird die Ablauforganisation in Produktion und Logistik optimal ausgetüftelt? Zu den zentralen Themen wie Arbeitsverteilung inklusive PPS-Systeme, Leistungsabstimmung, Bestellmengen, Sicherheitsabstände, Losgrößen-, Reihenfolge-,...
