Abstract
We propose a simple model of a production plant that is based on the ASEP and simulate the dependence of the lead time T on the lot size r. Then, we derive an analytical description of the simulation results based on exact results for the single-species ASEP. Furthermore, we determine the optimum lot size r c and investigate dependence of r c on several parameters used in the simulations.
