Optimal feedback production planning in a stochastic N-machine flowshop

We consider a production planning problem in an N-machine flowshop subject to breakdown and repair of machines and to non-negativity constraints on work-in-process. The machine capacities and demand processes are assumed to be finite-state Markov chains. The problem is to choose the rates of product...
