“…Realizing the importance of delays, Van Ryzin et al [2] considered the impact of delays for optimal flow control of job shops in order to minimize the discount and infinite-horizon average cost, but the system considered is composed only of two stages. Mourani et al [3,4] extended the model of Van Ryzin and proposed a continuous Petri net model with delays for performance modeling and optimization of transfer lines. Swihart et al [5] developed a stochastic and dynamic model for the pick-up and delivery problem.…”

In this paper, a manufacturing system composed by a single machine, a buffer and a stochastic demand is considered. The objective is to determine the optimal or near optimal buffer level taken into account the delivery time and the machine failures to minimize the sum of inventory, transportation and lost sales costs. A simulation algorithm based on perturbation analysis is proposed to determine this optimal buffer level in the presence of delivery time.
