| Abstract: | In today's manufacturing enterprise, the performance of customer service level (e.g., short ordering-to-delivery time, low price) is highly dependent on the effectiveness of its manufacturing planning and control system (MPCS). However, most of the current MPCS, employed the hierarchical planning approach, may have some drawbacks, such as structural rigidity, difficulty of designing a control system, and lack of flexibility. Currently, RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) technology has been applied to enhance the visibility, accountability, track ability and traceability of manufacturing system whenever the accurate and detailed manufacturing information (e.g., raw material, WIP, products in factory and products in the down streams) of products will be followed in real time basis by RFID technique. In addition, a multi-agent approach may be applied in a distributed and autonomous system which allows negotiation-based decision making. Therefore, the objective of this research is to study the application of RFID technique and multi-agent system (MAS) in developing an agent-based agile manufacturing planning and control system (AMPCS) to respond to the dynamically changing manufacturing activities and exceptions. An iterative bidding mechanism is proposed to improve the performance of production schedule. In AMPCS, four types of agents, scheduling (SA), job management (JMA), item (IMA) and resource (RA), are responsible for iterative bidding mechanism. In order to generate the production schedule, RAs compete to win the IMA's operation using the shortest processing time (SPT) bidding algorithm. The iterative bidding process is carried out based on the critical level of manufacturing orders (MO). JMAs submit SA the total process time for computing the critical value of each MO. RAs re-bid for operations based on the new set of JMA dispatching priority until the delay is minimized. In addition, production items and manufacturing resources attached with RFID tags may actively feedback real-time production status to create a new bid. The development of an AMPCS for an automated manufacturing cell demonstrates that the integration of RFID technique and MAS in developing an agile manufacturing planning and control system can really possess the characteristics of visibility, accountability, track ability, responsiveness, and flexibility in a distributed and dynamic manufacturing system. |
