Multiple control policies for two-station production networks with two types of parts using fuzzy logic

This paper considers the problem of optimal control to tandem two-station production networks with two types of parts. Part routing, service rate selection and flow control, are simultaneously considered. We use fuzzy control to solve the problem. Simulation shows that the approach is efficient and promising.
