Abstract

Production split and merge are widely used in many manufacturing systems to increase production capacity and variety, improve product quality, and carry out scheduling and control activities. In this paper, we present analytical methods to analyze such systems with exponential machine reliability models, operating under circulate, strictly circulate, priority and percentage split/merge policies.
