An important class of production systems are modeled by N-stage buf-fered transfer lines. The system states consists of the operational conditions of the workstations and the levels of the material in the buffers. The purpose of this paper is to study the asymptotic behaviour of the inner-state trasient density functions. We show the convergence towards a steady-state with exponential speed.
