COOPERATIVE DISRUPTION MANAGEMENT IN INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS: A MULTIAGENT APPROACH

摘要

This paper presents a cooperative repair method for disruption management in industrial systems. Our method aims to enable industrial systems, and in particular workshops, to minimize the consequences of disruptions in their forecasted schedule. In order to define rescheduling measures proportional to a disruption importance, a set of distributed repair strategies, ranging from isolated to cooperative solving process, are defined. Agent based modelling is used to specify and operate these cooperative processes. Agent-based simulation illustrates the application of this method on a workshop where autonomous machines cooperate to manage disruptions.
