A new approach to the analysis of homogeneous transfer lines with unreliable buffers subject to time-dependent failure

This paper presents a new analytical approach to the analysis of transfer lines with unreliable machines and unreliable buffers running in a steady state. The buffers are assumed to be subject to time-dependent failure, i.e. they can fail in any condition, even when not loaded. As the most common re...
