Distributed Scheduling and Control in Job Shop Manufacturing Systems: a Multiagent Architecture
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the current global market, traditional hierarchical approaches for manufacturing scheduling and control don’t produce the desired results. It occurs especially in Job-Shop manufacturing configurations. In order to overcome the limitations that hierarchical and centralized architectures show in new manufacturing systems, many decentralized schemes have been proposed. Most of those proposals are based either on dispatching rules or on market mechanisms. While dispatching rules approximations provide a good solution to manage large number of disturbances, market approaches provide efficiency. This paper presents a multiagent architecture which combines both types of ideas.

Solving the flexible job shop problem by hybrid metaheuristics-based multiagent model
The flexible job shop scheduling problem (FJSP) is a generalization of the classical job shop scheduling problem that allows to process operations on one machine out of a set of alternative machines. The FJSP is an NP-hard problem consisting of two sub-problems, which are the assignment and the scheduling problems. In this paper, we propose how to solve the FJSP by hybrid metaheuristics-based c...
متن کاملReal Time Distributed Shop Floor Scheduling Using an Agent-Based Service-Oriented Architecture
This paper proposes a distributed manufacturing scheduling framework at the shop floor level. The shop floor is modeled as a collection of multiple workcells, each of which is modeled as a flexible manufacturing system. The framework consists of a distributed shop floor control structure, dynamic distributed scheduling algorithms, multi-agent system modeling of workcell, and service oriented in...
متن کاملFlexible Reasoning Using Sensible Agent-based Systems: A Case Study in Job Flow Scheduling
Planning and control systems for highly dynamic and uncertain manufacturing environments require adaptive flexibility and decision-making capabilities. Modern distributed manufacturing systems assess the utility of planning and executing solutions for both system goals (e.g. minimize manufacturing production time for all parts or minimize WIP), and local goals (e.g. expedite part A production s...
متن کاملMinimizing the maximum tardiness and makespan criteria in a job shop scheduling problem with sequence dependent setup times
The job shop scheduling problem (JSP) is one of the most difficult problems in traditional scheduling because any job consists of a set operations and also any operation processes by a machine. Whereas the operation is placed in the machine, it is essential to be considering setup times that the times strongly depend on the various sequencing of jobs on the machines. This research is developed ...
متن کاملA Hierarchical Production Planning and Finite Scheduling Framework for Part Families in Flexible Job-shop (with a case study)
Tendency to optimization in last decades has resulted in creating multi-product manufacturing systems. Production planning in such systems is difficult, because optimal production volume that is calculated must be consistent with limitation of production system. Hence, integration has been proposed to decide about these problems concurrently. Main problem in integration is how we can relate pro...
