TL;DR: Graphical Evaluation and Review Technique (GERT) has been applied to the analysis of the discrete conveyor model for service time distributions which are general but bounded and where there is no storage at work stations and no recirculation.
Abstract: Graphical Evaluation and Review Technique (GERT) has been applied to the analysis of the discrete conveyor model for service time distributions which are general but bounded and where there is no storage at work stations and no recirculation. The model is described by states with the Markovian property. The GERT analysis gives a visual representation of the conveyor system and useful information in the conveyor system design.

TL;DR: The application of GERT (Graphical Evaluation and Review Technique) to the area of logistics is discussed, which presents a brief background on the applicability of computer simulation in logistics.
Abstract: The application of computer modelling and simulation to logistics networks has been quite common. The primary reason is that logistical systems possess inherent characteristics which are compatible to computer modelling and simulation. One such technique which provides modelling and simulation capabilities and has yet to be applied to logistical networks is GERT (Graphical Evaluation and Review Technique). This article discusses the application of GERT to the area of logistics. The first section presents a brief background on the applicability of computer simulation in logistics. The second section presents an overview of the GERT simulation model. The third section describes an application of the GERT model to a logistics problem. Finally, the fourth section discusses areas of potential research in logistics utilising GERT.

TL;DR: In this paper, the use of Graphical Evaluation and Review Technique with Queueing (Q-GERT) simulation can be used to evaluate avionic maintenance support systems and provide data for avionic resource allocation.
Abstract: : The objective of this report is to show that Graphical Evaluation and Review Technique with Queueing (Q-GERT) simulation can be used to evaluate avionic maintenance support systems. And, that simulation analysis can provide data for avionic maintenance resource allocation. This report demonstrates the use of Q-GERT to: model an Air Force avionic maintenance system; evaluate the maintenance system through simulation; determine maintenance resource requirements; and, aid management with day-to-day decisions. A Q-GERT network model is developed and translated into computer input format. Simulation of this model is accomplished to provide data for analysis. Analysis illustrates the use of this method as an aid to Command level and Base level decision makers. Results of this analysis leads to the conclusion that Q-GERT can be used to answer critical questions concerning the availability of avionic maintenance support resources.
