| Abstract: | We describe a simulated annealing approach for solving the buffer allocation problem in reliable production lines. The problem entails the determination of near optimal buffer allocation plans in large production lines with the objective of maximizing their average throughput. The latter is calculated utilizing a decomposition method. The allocation plan is calculated subject to a given amount of total buffer slots in a computationally efficient way. |
