A New Construction of Job-Shop Scheduling System Integrating ILOG and MAS

摘要

While manufacturing industry facing tough market competition, quickly responsive and flexible Job-Shop Scheduling System, JSSS, seems more attractive in nowadays. Research and applications on JSSS were summarized in this paper. A new framework of JSSS was designed in our research. A synthetic method was used here in order for efficiency and practicality. We took advantage of Multi-Agent System (MAS) and ILOG, which is a powerful calculation platform in the field of optimization. Interactive models between MAS and ILOG, among agents in MAS were also devised. Prototype of this JSSS represents more convenient and flexible scheduling plan in test by engineer of an automobile factory.
