摘要
A model is developed to study holdup in intermediate storage as a function of system parameters such as processing unit delay times. General results concerning the periodicity of the required storage volume, the allowable unit delay times, and the calculation of the volume are presented. Analytical expressions for the limiting volume are obtained for several special network configurations. A simple upper bound is derived for purposes of quick estimates of the limiting volume for the general case, and a gradient based algorithm is reported for obtaining the minimum volume schedule for general networks.
