Abstract
In this chapter, a model is developed to describe production systems at capacity level. This model is the one briefly introduced in section 1.4. It is only applied here to simple production systems, consisting of two stages only. It is assumed that these production systems produce a single product type. A multiproduct case situation is considered only in section 2.1. The objective is to determine aggregate performance in such systems: throughput and mean system contents. Via Little’s formula, then also the mean throughput time is known. The model will be applied to more complicated multistage, multiproduct production systems in later chapters.
