Abstract Two algorithms are developed to allocateM buffers toN service stations connected arbitrarily in a feed-forward manner. All service times and the interarrival times are assumed to be exponentially distributed. Both methodologies are easy-to-use tools to explore alternative buffer storage configurations and parameter settings during the initial design stages of production systems, communications networks, and flexible manufacturing systems.
