Transfer Hatlarında Geçici Durum Çıktı Analizi: Analitik Metod Kullanımı

Transfer hatları üretimde makinelerin seri olarak düzenlendiği ve iki ardışık makinenin ara tamponlarla ayrıldığı sistemlerdir. Bir üretim sistemi olan transfer hatlarının yüksek üretim hacmine sahiptir. Transfer hatlarının, tasarım ve operasyonlarında çıktı analizi önemli bir yere sahiptir. Bu çalışma, transfer hatlarında çıktı analizi üzerine teorik sonuçlar sunmaktadır. Tek makineli ve iki makineli transfer hatlarının çıktı dağılım, beklenen değer ve sapma fonksiyonları oluşturulacaktır. Elde edilen fonksiyonlar, bu üretim sistemlerinin performans değerlendirilmesinde kullanılacaktır. Bunun yanında, küçük sistemlere ayrıştırılabilecek olan daha uzun ve karmaşık transfer hatlarının analizinde de bu derivasyonlar kullanılabilir.  

Throughput Analysis of Transfer Lines in Transient State: Using Exact Analytical Methods

Transfer line is a serial arrangement of machines where buffers are used to separate two consecutive machines. This special type of production systems have high production volumes.  In the design and operation of transfer lines, throughput analysis is essential. Considering the transient state of the systems, this paper presents theoretical analysis for throughput rate of transfer lines. For the short transfer lines, having a unique machine and two machines, we derive throughput rate, expected value and variance functions. We use these functions in performance evaluation of production systems. Besides, these theoretical analyses can be used while analyzing longer and more complex transfer lines which can easily be decomposed into smaller sub-systems.
