A Control Policy to Improve Operation Reliability of Manufacturing Systems
一种提高制造系统运行可靠性的控制策略

This paper,from control theoretic point of view, proposes a control policy to improve performances of a general repairable serial production line with buffers.The proposed policy is based on the concept of hedging point scheduling strategy that considers both running costs and availability of the system.The sumulation results illustrate the effectiveness of the policy.The method can be used to manufacturing systems with general structure.
