Modeling of Throughput in Production Lines Using Response Surface Methodology and Artificial Neural Networks

The problem of assigning buffers in a production line to obtain an optimum production rate is a combinatorial problem of type NP-Hard and it is known as Buffer Allocation Problem. It is of great importance for designers of production systems due to the costs involved in terms of space requirements....
