The ordered event model is improved to describe serial production lines with limited buffer sizes. The improved model has the same computational burden as the original one and can be constructed directly according to given principles. Several simulation examples are cited to verify this improved model. Extensions and open problems are also indicated. By means of this new model, serial produotion lines with limitations of resources can be studied analytically.
