Abstract: The period of processing of multi-entry and multi-outlet serial production line is studied in this paper. The computational algorithms of production periods of multi-entry and multi-outlet serial production line under non-blocking optimal control are given. The algorithms contain the computational algorithms of production periods of single-entry and single-outlet, single-entry and multi-outlet, multi-entry and single-outlet serial production lines, as the special cases. The algorithms based on max-plus algebra are constructive. A numerical example is provided to illustrate the computational algorithms.
