A Study on Integration of Process Planning and scheduling system for Holonic Manufacturing — Modification of process plans with load balancing of machining equipment

抄録

In the previous paper, a systematic method was proposed to obtain suitable process plans for individual products using a stepwise method of GA (Genetic Algorithm) and DP (Dynamic Programming), and to generate a suitable schedule using the methods of GA and DR (Dispatching Rule) for the entire products. In this research, the process plans of the individual product are modified with the help of the feedback information of the generated schedule. A systematic method based on the DP and the heuristic rule is proposed to modify the predetermined process plans, based on the load balancing of the machining equipment.
