چکیده

To remain competitive in increasingly changeable markets, companies need to be reactive. They must often face unforeseen events, such as a cancellation or a modification of order, taking into account rush order, random interruptions of the production system, etc. This requires, in particular, a real time Production Activity Control (PAC) in order to deal with emerging critical events. We distinguish two types of production activity control: reactive control and corrective control. Reactive control is rather intended to anticipate the disturbances, whereas corrective control intervenes following an unanticipated event. Among all the software used in industry for real time shop floor control and the decision-making aid, we are particulary interested in Discrete Eevents Simulation (DES) coupled to Manufacturing Execution System (MES). In this paper, our objective is to show the interest to use ‘On-Line Simulation’ for real-time production activity control. We will also detail the designed functionalities and the features of such a tool.

Real-time Scheduling of a Flexible Manufacturing System using a Two-phase Machine Learning Algorithm

The static and analytic scheduling approach is very difficult to follow and is not always applicable in real-time. Most of the scheduling algorithms are designed to be established in offline environment. However, we are challenged with three characteristics in real cases: First, problem data of jobs are not known in advance. Second, most of the shop’s parameters tend to be stochastic. Third, th...

Solving Logistics and Transportation Problems in a Job Shop

A discrete event simulation model was developed to study the flow of material and product in a shop floor. It uses real time data available from a job shop sole dedicated to noncommercial contracts and as such deals with very seasonal demand. The objective of this model is to provide the shop with a decision support tool that will assist in evaluating the movement of products throughout the sho...

Concurrent control on resource planning and revenue/expenditure estimation in large-scale shell material embankment projects management using discrete-event simulation

Resource planning in large-scale construction projects has been a complicated management issue requiring mechanisms to facilitate decision making for managers. In the present study, a computer-aided simulation model is developed based on concurrent control of resources and revenue/expenditure. The proposed method responds to the demand of resource management and scheduling in shell material emb...
