Flow Line에서의 소팅 및 버퍼링 시스템 적용 연구

Presented in the paper are a review of sorting and buffering system(SBS), the design procedure of a SBS and an analytical model for the initial alternative generation. SBS is an automated material handling system in which incoming items of different part types are automatically sorted and buffered so that the processing machines can process the part in lots. SBSs play a key role in modern manufacturing systems ans are widely found in mass fabrication lines, packaging and palletizing, and disribution centers.
