    Analysis of assembly systems for interdeparture time variability and throughput
    (Taylor & Francis, 2002) Sabuncuoğlu, İ.; Erel, E.; Kok, A. G.
    This paper studies the effect of the number of component stations (parallelism), work transfer, processing time distributions, buffers and buffer allocation schemes on throughput and interdeparture time variability of assembly systems, As an alternative to work transfer, variability transfer is introduced and its effectiveness is assessed. Previous research has indicated that the optimal throughput displays an anomaly at certain processing time distributions and, this phenomenon is now thoroughly analyzed and the underlying details are uncovered. This study also yields several new findings that convey important practical implications.

    Analysis of serial production lines: Characterisation study and a new heuristic procedure for optimal buffer allocation
    (Taylor & Francis, 2006) Sabuncuoglu, I.; Erel, E.; Gocgun, Y.
    Buffer allocation in serial production lines is one of the important design issues, and hence it has been studied extensively in the literature. In this paper, we analyse the problem to characterise the optimal buffer allocation; specifically, we study the cases with single and multiple bottleneck stations under various experimental conditions. In addition, we develop an efficient heuristic procedure to allocate buffers in serial production lines to maximise throughput. The results of the computational experiments indicate that the proposed algorithm is very efficient in terms of both solution quality and CPU time requirements. Moreover, the characterisation study yields interesting findings that may lead to important practical implications. A comprehensive bibliography is also provided in the paper.
