In a network of subassembly lines, balance becomes more difficult to achieve as it requires that all subassembly lines be synchronized to produce at the same rate. We show how to adapt the "bucket brigade" protocol of work-sharing so that balance emerges spontaneously. (c) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
