Operation management in reconfigurable manufacturing systems: Reconfiguration for error handling
نویسندگان
چکیده
Reconfigurable manufacturing systems offer quick adjustment of production capacity and functionality in response to unpredictable market changes as being systems designed at the outset for rapid change in system configuration, its machines and controls. During the production process, out-of-ordinary events occur dynamically and unpredictably both at the system (machine breakdowns, change in job’s priorities, etc.) and at the cell level (tool failures, robot collisions, etc.). Such exceptions interrupt the production process by causing errors in the schedule plan (system level) or in the task plan (cell level). Error handling is the policy meant for reacting to errors caused by the occurrence of out-ofordinary events. The reconfiguration ability turns out to be the new technological factor enabling new strategies to handle out-of-ordinary events of the production process. Both economic and performance aspects need to be considered in order to make a decision in support of particular error handling policies such as using reconfiguration. This paper, starting from a simulation case study, highlights advantage of using reconfiguration for error handling. Authors propose an object-oriented high-level control structure for real-time error handling, which integrates the new reconfiguration for error handling technology with the existing reactive scheduling system. r 2004 Elsevier B.V.

Reconfiguration Methods for Exception Handling in Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems
Reconfigurable manufacturing systems (RMS) offer capabilities for quick adjustment of production capacity and functionality in response to sudden changes in market conditions. Both at the system and at the cell level exception events occur dynamically and unpredictably during the production process. These exceptions interrupt the production process by causing errors in the schedule plan. Error/...
متن کاملDesign of a New Mathematical Model for Integrated Dynamic Cellular Manufacturing Systems and Production Planning
This paper presents a new mathematical model for integrated dynamic cellular manufacturing systems and production planning that minimizes machine purchasing, intra-cell material handling, cell reconfiguration and setup costs. The presented model forms the manufacturing cells and determines the quantity of machine and movements during each period of time. This problem is NP-hard, so a meta-heur...
متن کاملDesign of collaborative and reconfigurable control architecture for dispersed productive systems
In general, the control systems for conventional manufacturing systems are organized into hierarchical layers such as, enterprise control, factory control, and shop floor control. In an approach based on division in scope and breadth of the problems these levels are designed to act with relative autonomy. However, currently manufacturing systems must necessarily be reconfigurable to assure feat...
متن کاملDRAFT: An On-line Concurrent Test for Partial and Dynamically Reconfigurable FPGAs
The use of partial and dynamically reconfigurable FPGAs in reconfigurable systems opens exciting possibilities, since they enable the concurrent reconfiguration of part of the system without interrupting its operation. Nevertheless, larger dies and the use of smaller submicron scales in the manufacturing of this new kind of FPGAs increase the probability of failures after many reconfiguration p...
