Robustness of buffer allocation in multi-product multi-batch deterministic flow lines

Ankara : Department of Management and Graduate School of Business Administration of Bilkent University, 1993.Thesis (Master's) -- Bilkent University, 1993.Includes bibliographical references leaves 83-87.Today in industry flow lines are not just for a single end product. There is a stochasticity, such that there are various demand scenarios at hand, to be satisfied by the flow line. The performance of the flow line should not be very sensitive to demand changes. Aim of this study is to develop buffer allocation guidelines to help flow line designers.Kurucu, A AkınM.S
