Stochastic Algorithms for Buffer allocation in Reliable Production Lines
The allocation of buffers between workstations is a major optimization problem faced by manufacturing systems designers. It entails the determination of optimal buffer allocation plans in production lines with the objective of maximizing their throughput. We present and compare two stochastic approaches for solving the buffer allocation problem in large reliable production lines. The allocation...
متن کاملA Dynamic Programming Algorithm for the Buffer Allocation Problem in Homogeneous Asymptotically Reliable Serial Production Lines
In this study, the buffer allocation problem (BAP) in homogeneous, asymptotically reliable serial production lines is considered. A known aggregation method, given by Lim, Meerkov, and Top (1990), for the performance evaluation (i.e., estimation of throughput) of this type of production lines when the buffer allocation is known, is used as an evaluative method in conjunction with a newly develo...
متن کاملA simulated annealing approach for buffer allocation in reliable production lines
We describe a simulated annealing approach for solving the buffer allocation problem in reliable production lines. The problem entails the determination of near optimal buffer allocation plans in large production lines with the objective of maximizing their average throughput. The latter is calculated utilizing a decomposition method. The allocation plan is calculated subject to a given amount ...
متن کاملA New Algorithm for Buffer Allocation in Production Lines
In the paper a new efficient algorithm for the allocation of storage capacity in serial production lines is derived. The proposed method aims to find out the distribution of storage capacity between machines that minimizes the total buffer space assigned to the line satisfying a target production requirement. The algorithm relies on an iterative scheme that, starting from the minimal capacity r...
متن کاملHBBA: hybrid algorithm for buffer allocation in tandem production lines
In this paper, we consider the problem of buffer space allocation for a tandem production line with unreliable machines. This problem has various formulations all aiming to answer the question: how much buffer storage to allocate between the processing stations? Many authors use the knapsack-type formulation of this problem. We investigate the problem with a broader statement. The criterion dep...
