Modeling and Intelligent Scheduling for FMC
FMC의 모델링과 지능형 스케쥴링
Abstract
This paper deals with the modeling and scheduling for FMC(Flexible Manufacturing Cells). The FMC system composed of unit or multi cells is capable of improving productivity with flexibility for machine. However, the properties of multiple jobs and various alternatives results in tne dynamic states which make system management very complex. The extended Peti nets are used to represent for complex properties of FMC which performs short-term scheduling and dynamic operational scheduling. The hierarchical control structure and integlligent scheduling through expert module are adopted for efficiency of FMC operations. The computer simulation reveals that intelligent scheduling method is better than heuristics in various performance indices.
