Abstract
Abstract The application of probabilistic models, utilizing the concepts of delay and the individual work station, offers a basis for realistic analysis and design of materials handling conveyors. These models, used in conjunction with the usual economic analyses, provide an improved means of describing the performance of a conveyor and the stations located along it Mathematical models provide the expected delay resulting when loading or unloading a conveyor at a particular work station. The models were developed in segments by considering a loading range, a bank removal range, and a reserve replenishment range. The availability of three distinct ranges provides for easier adaptation of the models to a given practical situation In addition to the delay models, probabilistic expressions for the finished product bank and raw material reserve are provided.
