The paper develops an analytical model of transfer lines consisting of two machines decoupled by one finite buffer, in which a restart policy is also added to reduce the occurrence of blocking events in the first machine. Briefly, the first machine is forced to remain blocked each time the buffer fills up until it is once again empty. The system is modeled as a discrete-time discrete-state markov process, and expressions of the most important performance measures are provided.

Abstract
The paper develops an analytical model of transfer lines consisting of two machines decoupled by one finite buffer, in which a restart policy is also added to reduce the occurrence of blocking events in the first machine. Briefly, the first machine is forced to remain blocked each time the buffer fills up until it is once again empty. The system is modeled as a discrete-time discrete-state markov process, and expressions of the most important performance measures are provided.File in questo prodotto:
