Max-Plus Algebra as a Tool for the Modelling and Performance Analysis of Manufacturing Systems
This contribution discusses the usefulness of (max, +) algebra as a mathematical framework for a class of manufacturing systems. This class can be described as dynamic and asynchronous, where the state transitions are initiated by events that occur at discrete instants of time. An event corresponds...
