Operation control algorithm for an automated manufacturing system with travel of AGV

자동화생산시스템에서 AGV의 운송시간을 고려한 작업제어기법

This research is concerned with operation control problem for an automated manufacturing system which consists of two machine centers and a single automatic guided vehicle. The objective is to develop and evaluate heuristic scheduling procedures that minimize maximum completion time to be included travel time of AGV. A new heuristic algorithm is proposed and a numerical example illustrates the proposed algorithm. The heuristic algorithm is implemented for various cases by SLAM II. The results show that the proposed algorithm provides better solutions than the previous algorithms.
