Buffer allocation and preventive maintenance optimization in unreliable production lines

In this paper, we consider a serial production line consisting of n unreliable machines with n - 1 buffers. The objective is to determine the optimal preventive maintenance policy and the optimal buffer allocation that will minimize the total system cost subject to a given system throughput level. W...
