Abstract
Abstract We report some results of our use of the GASP-IV simulation package to test the model described in our paper entitled, An Unreliable Series Production Line: Keeping It Running With Buffer Stocks. The results show that the total production rate does not appear to affect significantly the maximum (non-zero) space allocated uniformly to inter-equipment buffer stocks. However, they do show that other quantities are affected by the maximum buffer space. For example, the average number of items queueing at each station decreases with an increase in the index of the station. Also, the position of the slowest machine appears to be irrelevant.
