| Abstract: | A single station in a flexible manufacturing system where stations are arranged along a common conveyor is examined. A new kind of queueing problem arises, with input-output dependencies that result because the same conveyor transports the items both to and from the station. Two models of a station are analyzed. The first has one robot that cannot return a processed item to the conveyor while unloading a new item for processing. The second has two robots to allow simultaneous loading and unloading of the conveyor. The interaction between the conveyor and a single station of the system is analyzed. |
