N2  - In recent times, there is a great pressure on production line to have minimum total inventory  for getting more benefits. Some years after the success of Toyota Motor Co. applying Kanban  system, a new effort to go to a lean production line is proposed, i.e. CONWIP. CONWIP sets  the total inventory in constant level. However, the CONWIP assumes that the capacity of the  buffers are unlimited. It is not possible in the real production line.  This study is trying to observe what will happen if the CONWIP control is combined with the  (TOYOTA) kanban control on a multistage production line. The idea was firstly proposed by  Bonvik (I 996). In this paper, just a simple way is conducted to get the solution. Two  algorithms, i.e. Frein-Commault-Dallery's algorithm for close-line system and Di Mascolo David-Dallery's algorithm for assembly/disassembly system, are combined to a new algorithm  to analyze the performance of a CONWIP/Finite buffers controlled production line. This  method is simple because it only uses the two-machine line formula as the basic analytical  calculation in the decomposition analysis.  By adding some more approximations for numerical calculating needs, the results are satisfying  (with error less than 10%) compared with simulation results for less reliable production line. It  means that approximating numerically the reliability of Machine S is in fact not sufficient for  more/very reliable line. Anyway, an analysis of the CONWIP/Finite buffers control is  conducted, though limited to this less reliable line. Hence some conclusions can be noted based  on this simple numerical calculation method
