Over the past five decades, the buffer allocation problem in production lines has been the
topic of continuous interest. This paper proposes an adaptive simulation-optimization …

In this paper, we consider the buffer allocation problem (BAP) in production lines with
unreliable machines. The objective is to maximize the throughput of a line subject to a given …

Purpose: The buffer allocation problem (BAP) arises in the design of production systems; it
involves analyzing and defining the optimal distribution of buffers within a production line …

This paper introduces a modeling methodology for Assembly/Disassembly (AD) systems,
proposing an effective simulation-based optimization approach. The objective is to …

Purpose With rapid market customized demand and short development cycles, mixed
production with multiple classes and variable batches has been popular, and its buffer …

This paper presents an approach based on Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Infinitesimal
Perturbation Analysis (IPA) technique to maximize the production rate in unreliable …

This thesis is concerned with tackling the buffer allocation problem present at a cable
