Reliability-oriented multi-resource allocation for seru production system with stochastic capacity

Seru production system, which can meet the demands characterised by varied product assortment and fluctuant volumes in Japanese production practice, consists of several serus where the capacity of each seru is not certain but stochastic. Therefore, the capacity of each seru has multiple operational states. In this situation, the system reliability is an important issue to evaluate the performance of this new type production mode. The reliability...
