Scheduling of Flexible Manufacturing Systems Using Case-based Reasoning

چکیده
A common method of dynamically scheduling jobs in Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMSs) is to employ scheduling rules. However, the problem associated with this method is that the performance of the rules depends on the state of the system, but there is no rule that is superior to all the others for all the possible states the system might be in. It would therefore be highly desirable to employ the most suitable rule for each particular situation. To achieve this, this paper presents a scheduling method that uses Case-Based Reasoning (CBR), which analyses the systems previous performance, and acquires scheduling knowledge which determines the most suitable scheduling rule at each particular moment in time.

Tendency to optimization in last decades has resulted in creating multi-product manufacturing systems. Production planning in such systems is difficult, because optimal production volume that is calculated must be consistent with limitation of production system. Hence, integration has been proposed to decide about these problems concurrently. Main problem in integration is how we can relate pro...
