| Abstract: | To support the production rate, some transfer line stations with long cycle times must be duplicated. If laid out in parallel, this duplication esentially doubles the capacity, but, for practical reasons, these duplicate stations are often laid out in a series. The serial layout has a capacity less than the parallel's, and also raises some operational questions. The authors simulated an existing closed loop transfer line with duplicate stations in series using the actual failure and repair characteristics of the automated stations, and compared a new heuristic with three simple policies. |
