The effects of rescheduling on manufacturing systems complexity
نویسندگان
چکیده
Rescheduling is a means of managing internal and external disturbances in order to satisfy customer demand subject to resource constraints. The extent and nature of rescheduling have some effects on the overall complexity of the manufacturing facility. Complexity is associated with the variety and uncertainty within manufacturing systems. Complexity can be classified into static and dynamic. Static complexity is related to the schedule (variety) whereas dynamic complexity is related to the deviations from the schedule (uncertainty). Informationtheoretic measures can be used to quantify complexity. The aim of this paper is to investigate the relationship between rescheduling and complexity. This will be illustrated using a case study that involves two companies working in a supplier-customer relationship.

Scheduling of flexible manufacturing systems using genetic algorithm: A heuristic approach
Scheduling of production in Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMSs) has been extensively investigated over the past years and it continues to attract the interest of both academic researchers and practitioners. The generation of new and modified production schedules is becoming a necessity in today’s complex manufacturing environment. Genetic algorithms are used in this paper to obtain an initial...
متن کاملRescheduling 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...
متن کاملImproving Manufacturing System Performance through Rescheduling
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...
متن کاملBiologically Inspired Techniques for Autonomous Shop Floor Control
Currently, the conventional manufacturing systems, such as the Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMSs) are unable to adapt to the complexity and dynamic of the manufacturing environment. These systems activate the automatic operations by using the pre-instructed programs and should be stopped to re-program and re-plan in case of changes of the manufacturing environment, which reduce the flexibili...
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 ...
