An integrated production scheduling model for multi-product orders in VCIM systems

An integrated production scheduling model for multi-product orders in VCIM systems Abstract Virtual computer-integrated manufacturing (VCIM) is a global integrated manufacturing system, capable of exploiting the locally as well as globally distributed resources. Production scheduling is one of the critical factors to the success of VCIM systems. In this paper, a VCIM integrated production scheduling model is proposed which allows optimisation of the production scheduling of simultaneous multiple product orders. In the model, two major issues of the production scheduling, namely agent selection and collaborative shipment scheduling for multiple product orders, are fully integrated together to take advantage of the shipment collaboration. The effectiveness of the proposed model is demonstrated by a comprehensive case study with the aid of Genetic Algorithm solver in Matlab. The achievements of this study can serve as the fundamental steps towards the developing a decision support system capable of helping decision makers to operate VCIM systems more effectively. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png "International Journal of System Assurance Engineering and Management" Springer Journals

Abstract

Abstract Virtual computer-integrated manufacturing (VCIM) is a global integrated manufacturing system, capable of exploiting the locally as well as globally distributed resources. Production scheduling is one of the critical factors to the success of VCIM systems. In this paper, a VCIM integrated production scheduling model is proposed which allows optimisation of the production scheduling of simultaneous multiple product orders. In the model, two major issues of the production scheduling, namely agent selection and collaborative shipment scheduling for multiple product orders, are fully integrated together to take advantage of the shipment collaboration. The effectiveness of the proposed model is demonstrated by a comprehensive case study with the aid of Genetic Algorithm solver in Matlab. The achievements of this study can serve as the fundamental steps towards the developing a decision support system capable of helping decision makers to operate VCIM systems more effectively.
