Analysis and optimization of systems, Proc. 6th int. Conf., Nice 1984, Part 2, Lect. Notes Control Inf. Sci. 63, 615-632 (1984).
Summary: [For the entire collection see Zbl 0538.00036.]
We describe extensions to the on-line hierarchical scheduling scheme for flexible manufacturing systems of J. G. Kimemia and the first author [IEEE Transactions 15, 353-362 (1983)]. Major improvements to all levels of the algorithm are reported, including algorithm simplification, substantial reductions of off-line and on-line computation time, and improvement of performance. Simulation results based on a detailed model of an IBM printed circuit card assembly facility are presented.
