| Abstract: | Issues relating to the bowl phenomenon in unpaced lines have been studied extensively. However, no previous paper has determined optimal bowl configurations of mean processing times for a given line length and buffer capacity under realistic operating conditions. Information has been obtained through an examination of the maximum amount of imbalance that still provides some productivity benefit. It has been found that the amount of imbalance in a line can generally be double the imbalance in a optimal bowl and still perform better than the balanced line. |
