The steady state availability and average production rate of a single-buffer series system are obtained for a production system whose machines do not index on a common cycle and have the ability to operate at different rates. In the model which is formulated, the machines preceding the buffer are represented as a single subsystem, the input device, and the machines following the buffer are represented as a single subsystem, the output device. Simultaneous repairs are not possible and so repair priority is given to that device, input or output, with the slowest production rate. Tractable results are obtained for systems having exponential uptimes and arbitrary downtimes. These results are of use in the design of new production systems or the modification of existing ones. |
