Abstract
In this paper we study three-stage production lines with intermediate buffers. The goods flow is supposed to be continuous and machine speeds may be different. Production units may be subject to stochastic failure and repair. We calculate the average line production rate for some cases. Furthermore we prove some production lines can be reduced to simpler two-stage ones.
