Dynamic Management Architecture for Project Based Production

The production system where production facilities and products are widely distributed like a construction production project causes problems by combining and communicating production facilities mutually. There is a limit of the traditional approaches, where the system obtains the product information from the production facilities. In this paper, the production system architecture which manages the dynamic scheduling and material handling by using parts and packets unification technology is proposed. First, the architecture of the production based production with parts and packets unification technology is proposed. In order to treat both scheduling and material handling, not only the information of “what part” and “when exists” but also “where exists” is used. Then, a pilot system is developed and applied to the case studies about the production scheduling and material handling system in a factory. The results of the case studies show the feasibility of proposed production system using parts and packets unification approach.
