, breakdown times, and repair times have exponential distributions. A cost model is developed to determine the optimal values of … the number of unloaders and the finishing rate simultaneously, in order to minimize the expected cost per unit time … numerical values given to the system parameters and the cost elements. Sensitivity analysis is also studied. …
