Abstract
The performance evaluation of assembly lines under stochastic influence (changing model mix and varying processing times) is usually done by time consuming simulation experiments, In this paper a discrete time queueing model is presented that is a basis of an approximate performance analysis of car assembly systems. The model elements are described and approximate calculation methods for the waiting time and interdeparture time distributions at each work station are derived
