Decentralized Scheduling of Discrete Production Systems with Limited Buffers

Meer over het boek

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.
