چکیده
Real-time vehicle location information enables to facilitate more efficient decision-making in dynamic automotive shipment yard environment. This paper proposes a multiagent-based decentralized decision-making model for the vehicle deployment planning in a shipment yard. A multiagent architecture is designed to facilitate decentralized algorithms and coordinate different agents dynamically. The results of computational experiments show that the proposed deployment model outperforms a current deployment practice with respect to the deployment performance measures.

A Dynamic Optimization for Automotive Vehicle Shipment and Delivery
The automotive industry has made much efforts to deliver finished vehicles to customers with speed and reliability. Decreasing the time a vehicle stays within an assembly plant from production release to shipment contributes to reduce the total order lead-time and consequently, the total transportation cost as well. Conventional shipment planning algorithms are limited in accommodating the dyna...
متن کاملFast Solving of Influence Diagrams for Multiagent Planning on GPU-enabled Architectures
Planning under uncertainty in multiagent settings is highly intractable because of history and plan space complexities. Probabilistic graphical models exploit the structure of the problem domain to mitigate the computational burden. In this paper, we introduce the first parallelization of planning in multiagent settings on a CPU-GPU heterogeneous system. In particular, we focus on the algorithm...
متن کاملTowards agent-based multi-site scheduling
Scheduling problems are usually treated within single plant environments or within companies with several production locations. Due to the globalization of markets companies can no longer be regarded isolated from each other. They are in fact elements of spatially distributed production and logistics networks, where apart from the actual production process transport and stock keeping gain impor...

متن کاملAn application of principal component analysis and logistic regression to facilitate production scheduling decision support system: an automotive industry case
Production planning and control (PPC) systems have to deal with rising complexity and dynamics. The complexity of planning tasks is due to some existing multiple variables and dynamic factors derived from uncertainties surrounding the PPC. Although literatures on exact scheduling algorithms, simulation approaches, and heuristic methods are extensive in production planning, they seem to be ineff...
