Abstract

A queuing model incorporating major features of ‘assembly-line’ systems is developed. Some simple algebraic consequences of the structural properties of the model are set forth. The intuitive construction of the capacity of the system is given, and the capacity is calculated for some relatively simple exponential-service cases. A general method for exponential-service is outlined, and completed in some simple cases.
