TL;DR: Reading this paper provides readers the foundational knowledge needed to develop intuition and insights on the complexities of stochastic simple serial lines, and serves as a guide to better understand and manage the effects of variability and design factors related to improving serial production line performance.

TL;DR: In this article, the major conclusions reached in the area of unpaced asynchronous unbalanced lines over time and from diverse sources are mapped to some possible future avenues of research that can usefully advance knowledge in this domain.

TL;DR: Results show that instead of the expected zero sum situation, a balance between the two objectives can be achieved by assigning different priority rules to different queues, and performance improvements are shown from assigning the first queue a priority rule that reduces the variance of flow time while assigning the other queues a priority rules that reduces queue length.

TL;DR: A comprehensive, iterative methodology for selecting, matching, laying out and installing the most suitable wind turbine system for low wind speed regions, with the objective of generating improved annual energy power is introduced.

TL;DR: In this article, the operating behavior of non-automated reliable serial production lines that are either individually or jointly imbalanced in terms of their operation time means, coefficients of variation and/or buffer sizes are investigated.
