Abstract

In the production process, the buffer acts as a buffer to alleviate some of the problems such as delays in delivery and process control failures in unexpected situations. Determining the optimal buffer size can contribute to system performance, such as increased output and resource utilization. However, there are difficulties in allocating the optimal buffer due to the complexity of the process or the increase in the number of variables. Therefore, the purpose of this research is proposing an optimal buffer allocation that maximizes throughput. First step is to design the production process to carry out the research. The second step is to maximize the throughput through the harmony search algorithm and to find the buffer capacity that minimizes the lead time. To verify the efficiency, comparing the ratio of the total increase in throughput to the total increase in buffer capacity.
