dc.description.abstractWe present a model and analysis of a production line that processes different part types on unreliable machines which operate according to a priority rule. The production line consists of machines separated by storage areas in which parts flow in a fixed sequence. A machine operates on the highest priority part whenever possible, and only operates on lower priority parts when unable to produce the higher priority parts. Part priorities are static and are a function only of part type. The purpose of this thesis is to present mathematical formulations and algorithms for estimating production rates and average inventory levels for each part type in a flexible production line. The qualitative behavior of the multiple-part-type line under different supply and demand scenarios is described.en_US
