Agent Based Production Planning
نویسنده
چکیده
1 Agent based system is a collection of autonomous computational elements, independent programs (hereafter we will refer to these elements as agents) that perform collective behaviour in order to meet either their individual goals (selfinterested agents) or a in-community shared goal (collaborative agents) [7], [5]. They exchange information and knowledge in order to achieve desired instance of collaboration. Multi-agent decision making is not only processing information from various sources of diverse nature. Multi-agent systems allow its agents to act proactively: any agent is able to try to persuade the rest of the community members to adopt the agent’s local goal as their joint motivation and implement it. Either hierarchical, heterarchical or partially structured communities of agents perform joint decision making by means of communication, collaboration, negotiation, and responsibility delegation that are based on agents’ individual rationality and social intelligence. The field of distributed artificial intelligence and agent-based systems provides production planning and intelligent manufacturing systems in general with three distinctive pieces of technology:

Scheduling problems are usually treated within single plant environments or within companies with several production locations. Due to the globalization of markets companies can no longer be regarded isolated from each other. They are in fact elements of spatially distributed production and logistics networks, where apart from the actual production process transport and stock keeping gain impor...
