S~2CMAS: An Agent-Based System for Planning and Control in Semiconductor Supply Chains

摘要

In this paper, we describe the design and the implementation of an agent-based system that supports planning and control activities in semiconductor supply chains. The proposed system extends the FABMAS prototype for production control of single wafer fabs by additional enterprise-wide planning-related decision-making agents and staff agents. Web services are used to implement parts of the new planning functionality. Results of simulation experiments with the proposed multi-agent system prototype are presented that indicate that the proposed approach is feasible.
