Stochastic Dynamics of Long Supply Chains with Random Breakdowns

We analyze the stochastic large time behavior of long supply chains via a traffic flow random particle model. As items travel on a virtual road from one production stage to the next, random breakdowns of the processors at each stage are modeled via a Markov process. The result is a conservation law...
