An Autonomous Decentralized Supply Chain Planning and Scheduling System
نویسنده
چکیده
For manufacturing industries, the integration of business processes from customer-order management to delivery (Supply Chain Management) has widely been received much attention from the viewpoints of agile and lean manufacturing. Supply chain planning concerns broad activities ranging network-wide inventory management, forecasting, transportation, distribution planning, production planning and scheduling, and so on (Jeremy, 2001; Simon et al., 2000). Various supply chain models and solution approaches have been extensively studied in previous literature (Vidal & Goetschalckx, 1997). These models are often divided into the following three categories:

Optimizing decentralized production–distribution planning problem in a multi-period supply chain network under uncertainty
Decentralized supply chain management is found to be significantly relevant in today’s competitive markets. Production and distribution planning is posed as an important optimization problem in supply chain networks. Here, we propose a multi-period decentralized supply chain network model with uncertainty. The imprecision related to uncertain parameters like demand and price of the final produc...
متن کاملIntegrated Process Planning and Active Scheduling in a Supply Chain-A Learnable Architecture Approach
Through the lens of supply chain management, integrating process planning decisions and scheduling plans becomes an issue of great challenge and importance. Dealing with the problem paves the way to devising operation schedules with minimum makespan; considering the flexible process sequences, it can be viewed as a fundamental tool for achieving the scheme, too. To deal with this integration, t...
متن کاملAn Agent-Based Cooperative Mechanism for Integrated Production and Transportation Planning
This paper presents a decentralized cooperative economic scheduling mechanism for a supply chain environment. For this purpose, we design autonomous agents that minimize the production or transportation and outsourcing costs incurred by the external execution of a task. The decentralized cooperative scheduling approach comprises two parts: the individual optimization of an agent’s local schedul...
متن کاملAgent-based Tracking and Tracing for Controlling Fulfillment-processes in Supply Chains
Within inter-organizational supply chains decentralized planning spheres lead to new challenges for the tracking and tracing of the fulfillment process. Nevertheless, information about progress and delays for instance in production has to be gathered to plan and to control the supply chain activities. Due to decentralized planning there is a lack of central information about structure and sched...
متن کاملCoordinating a decentralized supply chain with a stochastic demand using quantity flexibility contract: a game-theoretic approach
Supply chain includes two or more parties linked by flow of goods, information, and funds. In a decentralized system, supply chain members make decision regardless of their decision's effects on the performance of the other members and the entire supply chain. This is the key issue in supply chain management, that the mechanism should be developed in which different objectives should be align...
