Abstract :
The problem of production variability in serial manufacturing lines with unreliable machines and finite buffers is addressed. Bernoulli statistics of machines reliability are assumed. Three problems are considered: the problem of production variance, the problem of constant demand satisfaction, and the problem of random demand satisfaction generated by another (unreliable) production line
