Abstract.

We describe a flow line model consisting of machines with Cox-2-distributed processing times and limited buffer capacities. A two-machine subsystem is analyzed exactly and a larger flow lines are evaluated through a decomposition into a set of coupled two-machine lines. Our results are compared to those given by Buzacott, Liu and Shantikumar for their “Stopped Arrival Queue Modell”.
