Infinite Buffer Closed Lines - Principles

Worst Case Equations:

The following notations are used:

• Bottleneck rate = r_b
• Raw process time: T₀

Using the above notation the following relationships may be derived. Click here for more details.

Principle (Worst Case Performance): The worst case flow time for a given WIP level, w, is given by,
 
 

FTworst = w T0

and the worst case throughput for a given WIP level, w, is given by,
 
 

THworst= 1 / T0 .
