Production networks of any topology with finite buffers, random rates, and breakdowns are analyzed using a simple analytic/simulation model. Random rates are approximated by piecewise deterministic variables and parts of the network are collapsed into single servers between events. Occurrence of events represents the slow nonlinear system dynamics which is handled by simulation. The fast piecewise linear dynamics between events is handled algebraically. The model compared to a brute-force simulator is accurate and extremely fast
