The Design of an Agent-Based Production Scheduling Software Framework for Improving Planning-Scheduling Collaboration

چکیده
In the operation management environment, the process of production scheduling is responsible for detailing operating activities by indicating a set of methods and tools that are conditioned, among other restrictions, by the tactical decisions that are made in the production planning environment. Although, theoretically, a bi-directional flow of information should exist among both environments of decisions that permit those who are involved to coordinate both levels in practice, such does not occur because of a structured decisionmaking tool gap. This document proposes an architecture that is based on agents software designed with INGENIAS methodology and proposed from an analysis of requirements that is based on CIMOSA. Once it is implemented, a prototype that employs JADE has been carried out to test and verify its suitable operation.

متن کاملA Hierarchical Production Planning and Finite Scheduling Framework for Part Families in Flexible Job-shop (with a case study)
Tendency to optimization in last decades has resulted in creating multi-product manufacturing systems. Production planning in such systems is difficult, because optimal production volume that is calculated must be consistent with limitation of production system. Hence, integration has been proposed to decide about these problems concurrently. Main problem in integration is how we can relate pro...

The Flexible Job Shop Scheduling Problem (FJSP) is one of the most general and difficult of all traditional scheduling problems. The Flexible Job Shop Problem (FJSP) is an extension of the classical job shop scheduling problem which allows an operation to be processed by any machine from a given set. The problem is to assign each operation to a machine and to order the operations on the machine...
