Buffer optimization

In many systems, the factory space available for buffers is costly and limited. The total number of buffers and their distribution among the stations have a significant impact on the performance of a flow production systems.

Mathematical Model

Findinsg the optimum buffer sizes is a combinatorial optimization problem, which cannot be solved optimally by an experienced practitioner. Read more ...

Practical Examples
