Improving Manufacturing System Performance through Rescheduling
نویسنده
چکیده
Many production facilities generate and update production schedules. Rescheduling is necessary because the manufacturing system is dynamic and unexpected events occur. This paper discusses rescheduling policies and how they affect the performance of manufacturing systems. The benefits of proper rescheduling include improved manufacturing system performance with reduced cost due to computational effort (human or computer) and disruptions to existing plans (nervousness). The paper summarizes previous work in this area and also discusses how rescheduling requires methods to solve production scheduling problems. The goal is to help production planners, engineers, and researchers understand the importance of rescheduling and the proper role of production scheduling in dynamic manufacturing systems.

Rescheduling Manufacturing Systems: A Framework of Strategies, Policies, and Methods
Many manufacturing facilities generate and update production schedules, which are plans that state when certain controllable activities (e.g., processing of jobs by resources) should take place. Production schedules help managers and supervisors coordinate activities to increase productivity and reduce operating costs. Because a manufacturing system is dynamic and unexpected events occur, resch...

This knowledge will help these experts design and operate better manufacturing planning and control systems. This paper presents new analytical models that can predict the performance of rescheduling strategies and qu...
متن کاملTask Rescheduling in Multi-Agent Manufacturing
We present a model for task rescheduling in multi-agent manufacturing that is geared toward maximising system efficiency and reliability in an environment with predictable failure patterns. We describe a distributed manufacturing system architecture [1] to illustrate the merits of rescheduling. We also develop an action redistribution framework based upon resource cooling, ie migrating actions ...
متن کاملOrder Planning Decision Support System for Customer Driven Manufacturing: Overview of Main System Requirements
An important goal in schedule production orders through a manufacturing facility is to assure that the work is completed as close as possible to its due date. Work that is late creates downstream delays, while early completion can be detrimental if storage space is limited. Production planning and control manufacturing is becoming more difficult as family products increase and quantity decrease...
متن کاملFlowshop rescheduling under di erent types of disruptions
Almost all manufacturing facilities need to use production planning and scheduling systems to increase productivity and to reduce production costs. Real-life production operations are subject to a large number of unexpected disruptions that may invalidate the original schedules. In these cases, rescheduling is essential for minimizing the impact in the performance of the system. In this work we...
