Abstract—A new system aggregation technique was proposed
to analyze hybrid production lines. Different from the
traditional techniques, new lines consisting of “equivalent”
machines were set up and the parameters of machines were
renewed repeatedly rather than fixed in the process of whole
aggregation. Meanwhile, forward aggregation and backward
aggregation alternately proceeded until steady system
parameters of production lines were gotten. The comparison
analysis between the technique and the traditional aggregation
technique was done by numerical experiments. The advantages
and applying circumstance of the new aggregation technique
were also specified by numerical results.
Index Terms—Hybrid production line, System performance,
