Abstract

This paper proposes an effective and accurate approximative analytical decomposition method for evaluating the throughput rate of a three-loop closed manufacturing system with unreliable machines and finite buffers. The main philosophy is to decompose the three-loop closed production line into three single loop closed lines and approximate the influence of each other by modifying the parameters of machines. By means of experiments, the method shows fairly accuracy.
