  • Abstract
    A new approach for estimating the throughput sensitivity with respect to routing probabilities in queueing networks and flexible manufacturing systems is proposed. The approach converts the problem to a problem of calculating the sensitivity of throughput with respect to service distributions using perturbation analysis.
