Abstract

This paper examines the relationship between protective capacity and the performance of a flow line where statistical fluctuations exist in the form of variation in processing times at a workstation. The relationship between protective capacity and station processing time variations is examined in order to determine how protective capacity can be employed with a fixed amount of WIP inventory, so as to maximize the throughput of a line. The impact on cycle time is examined in the context of these tradeoffs.
