Hierarchical production control of a flexible manufacturing system

Abstract

A hierarchical production control framework for a flexible manufacturing system is proposed. The machines in the system are subject to failures in a wide spectrum band. At first, failures are clustered near some discrete points on the failure spectrum in order to define the hierarchical model. Each level in the hierarchy corresponds to a discrete point on the failure spectrum. At each level, faster varying failures are modelled by their mean behaviour, and more slowly varying failures are treated as static. Then, a hierarchical controller of multiple time scale type is proposed. System control at each level is based on the work of Kimemia and Gershwin. Simulation results conclude the paper.
