ALEM-T: A Modelling Tool for Autonomous Logistic Processes
نویسنده
چکیده
Autonomous control of logistic processes is proposed as a means for enterprises to better face dynamics and complexity, caused e.g. by globalization. This paper will first briefly sketch the idea of autonomous control of logistic processes and outline our concept for a modelling method designed for engineering of autonomous logistic processes. The main part will detail the implementation of this modelling concept in a software tool, presenting its architecture and underlying concepts.

Modelling of Autonomous Control explicitly considering Orders as a Kind of Immaterial Logistic Objects in Manufacturing Processes
The paper extends the Autonomous Logistics Engineering Methodology (ALEM), proposed to engineer logistic systems based on the principle of autonomous logistic processes, by certain aspects of immaterial logistic objects driving and trigging the manufacturing process. A hierarchical modelling concept is used to split customer orders logically into partial orders which combine different manufactu...
متن کاملModeling of orders in autonomously controlled logistic systems
The paper extends the Autonomous Logistics Engineering Methodology (ALEM) by a deeper understanding of immaterial logistic objects to trigger manufacturing processes. Further, a hierarchical modeling concept is introduced to split customer orders logically into partial orders, which run directly at the shop floor level. Each partial order consists of certain manufacturing steps. The amendments ...

This article addresses the issue of requirements to a method for modelling autonomous logistic processes as well as the development of the method. It ...
متن کاملModelling Dynamics of Autonomous Logistic Processes: Discrete-event versus Continuous Approaches
For developing and benchmarking autonomous logistic processes, dynamic models are essential. The paper investigates two different modelling approaches regarding their abilities to describe an exemplary scenario – an autonomously controlled shop floor. A discrete-event simulation model is compared to a continuous System Dynamics model. An autonomous control strategy is developed and its effectiv...

Todays companies face increasing complexity and dynamics in their processes, which lead to problems for centralized decision making in logistic process control. Thus, autonomously controlled logistic processes are proposed to overcome the induced negative effects. Logistic objects employ additional infrastructure components providing decision making and execution abilities to solve process cont...
