Abstract
Flow-sbop type production lines with finite buffer storage between operation stations are considered. Operation stations are subject to breakdowns. Operation time and repair time distributions are assumed to be phase-type. Time until a breakdown occurs is exponentially distributed. A Markov chain approach is developed to obtain certain performance measures using a numerical procedure.Keywords
