A FAST Method to Achieve Flexible Production Programming Systems
2008
One of the main critical problems in manufacturing system domains is the production scheduling process, because an agile and reactive production planning and scheduling system is essential in manufacturing. The production scheduling process is a complex problem in which finding a suitable production scheduling can greatly increase the effectiveness of highly flexible production processes. Nevertheless, this high flexibility makes the production scheduling and acquisition of relevant data quite complicated. Therefore, there is a strong demand for a universal and flexible tool for production scheduling capable of increasing the utilization of resources and that supports a decision-making proc…
Implementation Challenges for Supporting Coworking Virtual Enterprises
2013
The creation of co working alliances is usually restricted to the coworkers in the same workspace. However, they might not necessarily be best partners to take advantage of a collaboration opportunity. To break the spatial constrains and find the best partners irrespective of their co working spaces location, our proposal is to represent and manage the co working alliances as virtual enterprises (VEs) and to develop a multi-agent system (MAS) that serves as Virtual Breeding Environment (VBE). In this paper we provide the basis for the future development of this system. Thus, we introduce the co working VEs distinguishing features and the initial proposals on how to implement the MAS to addr…
