- •
The operating behaviour of unreliable unpaced production lines with unequal mean processing times was simulated.
- •
Different patterns, as well as degrees, of imbalance were employed.
- •
A number of configurations of unbalance were found that resulted in increased throughput, lower idle times and lower average buffer levels.
- •
The possible improvements, when taken over the operating life of a production line, could result in substantial savings.
