Previously, we have proposed a lot-casting process, namely, the asymmetric simple exclusion process
(ASEP), to improve throughput. The main cause of production retention between processes is the fact
that different processes operate at different speeds, i.e., the problem of working ability. In the present
article, we describe the theoretical background of our previously proposed ASEP model. Numerous
human workers carry out production according to the rules of the production flow system. During this
flow, no worker progresses to the next process until the front process ends. Therefore, data can be
updated one by one from the front step. Furthermore, it is assumed that either the system does not know
the number of clusters in advance or the number of clusters differs with time.
