| Abstract: | The paper deals with the transient fluctuations of the mean production rate of a two-stage production system subject to interstage and end inspections and end buffer. The interstage and end inspections are instantaneous, and the end buffer is with finite capacity of size N. A. stochastic model is developed to describe the system, and analytical expressions to evaluate the mean production rate of machine j/=I,II/ in ÄO, tÅ with arbitrary distributions of processing times at the stages of production and exponential supply and demand pattern have been obtained by using the state-pace method and the regeneration-point technique. A particular case is investigated, and numerical results are presented. |
