Abstract
Today in industiy production lines are stochastic systems. These systems are designed to optimize some performanee measures; the perfoimance measures are generally the throughput and WIP of the systems. Managers want to maximize throughput and minimize WIP. To achieve these goals, several designs are tested. Aim of this study is to develop some guidelines for the design of CONWIP type of systems.
