Decentralized Scheduling of Discrete Production Systems with Limited Buffers

Viac o knihe

The book explores the evolution of modern production systems towards greater flexibility and agility, emphasizing the need for effective control and planning methods. It presents a remodeled Shifting Bottleneck heuristic that incorporates limited buffers and introduces a decentralized multi-agent system for production planning. Key adaptations of the heuristic to fit the agent system are discussed, along with evaluations of its application in real-world production environments, showcasing practical implications and advancements in production efficiency.
