A Model for the Dynamics of large Queuing Networks and Supply Chains
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider a supply chain consisting of a sequence of buffer queues and processors with certain throughput times and capacities. Based on a simple rule for releasing parts, i.e. batches of product or individual product items, from the buffers into the processors we derive a hyperbolic conservation law for the part density and flux in the supply chain. The conservation law will be asymptotically valid in regimes with a large number of parts in the supply chain. Solutions of this conservation law will in general develop concentrations corresponding to bottlenecks in the supply chain.
