A Critical Analysis of Job Shop Scheduling in Context of Industry 4.0

Scheduling plays a pivotal role in the competitiveness of job shop facility. The traditional scheduling problem (JSSP) is centralized or semi-distributed. With advent Industry 4.0, there has been paradigm shift manufacturing industry from to smart distributed (SDS). implementation 4.0 results increased flexibility, high product quality, short lead times, and customized production. Smart/intelligent an integral part 4.0. intelligent approach converts renewable nonrenewable resources into objects capable sensing, working, acting environment achieve effective scheduling. This paper aims provide comprehensive review decentralized/distributed JSSP techniques context environment. Firstly, models problem-solving methods along with their advantages limitations are discussed. Secondly, overview associated used presented. third phase this discusses transition decentralized aid latest research trends domain. Finally, highlights futuristic approaches application light robustness current pandemic situation.
