Unreliable Machines

This paper introduces an analytical method for evaluating the performance of closed loop manufacturing systems with unreliable machines and finite buffers. The method involves transforming an arbitrary loop into one without thresholds and then evaluating the transformed loop using a new set of decomposition equations. It is more accurate than existing methods and is effective for a wider range of cases. The convergence reliability, and speed of the method are also discussed. In addition, observations are made on the behavior of closed loop production systems under various conditions. Finally, the method is used in a case study to design a flexible manufacturing system for production of aerospace parts.
