Performance Analysis of Production Line with Bernoulli’s Machines

In flexible manufacturing environments, the performance of a production system is often affected by the sequence of operation. While performance evaluation, improvement and lean design of production system have been studied extensively, the joint effect of productivity and quality parameters on operation sequencing remains practically unexplored. Indeed, determining the optimal operation sequence has significant implication from both theoretical and practical perspectives. In this work the frame work of Bernoulli reliability and quality models, we develop effective indicator that area simple and easy to implement in practice to determine the optimal operation sequence that maximize the system production rate. ---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------
