SUMMARY The efficiency of an automatic transfer line can be improved by providing buffers between stages and/or installing redundant machines at selected stages. In this paper, two two-stage production-line systems where a buffer storage is provided between the production stages, are discussed. Each production stage consists of two machines in either a splitting or a stand-by arrangement.
