Purpose: The aim of the realised analysis is the determination of the set of conditions. The fulfilment of those conditions enables the synchronisation of the assembly system work into the steady state. It is necessary to specify the rules controlling the assembly system work. Rhythmic concurrent production with wide assortment in the considered assembly system is realised. Design/methodology/approach: The theoretical roots of the considerations presented in that paper include theory of constraints. The presented approach is consistent with the authority method called Requirements and Possibilities Balance Method (RPBM). Findings: Two kinds of system buffers: the entrance buffers and the inter-resources buffers are considered in that paper. The number of buffers elements needed for production during first steady state of the given system has been determined. Mathematical formulas specifying the minimal capacity of the buffers allocated in the assembly system have been outworked. Research limitations/implications: The formulas specifying the minimal buffer capacity constitute the first step towards formulation of the automatic method. That method is designed for the automatic construction of rules controlling the system work during transient phases between two different steady states. The process enables automation of the introduction filling of the system buffers. Practical implications: The presented formulas can become an integrated part of existing authority software. The developed computer system aids the decision-making process connected with production planning and ensures effective utilisation of production resources. Moreover, the formulas correctness during computer simulations has been verified. Originality/value: To develop the formulas specifying the minimal capacity of the system buffers is the main achievement of the given paper. The presented approach permits to solve the problem concerning the synchronisation of the assembly system work into the steady state.
