A practical model of Heineken's bottle filling line with dependent failures

Article Abstract:

A production line model tried out in Heineken Brewery is presented. The model is based on constant machine rates, fixed finite buffer size and stochastic failure and repair behavior. It is concluded that because stochastic fluctuations in the production line are large, unreliability of machines can disturb production.
