model for a FFS problem, which is based on an energy-efficient mechanism, is described to solve multi-objective optimization. Since FFS is well known as a NPhard problem, an improved genetic-simulated annealing algorithm is adopted to make a significant trade-off between the makespan and the total energy consumption for implementing a feasible scheduling. Finally, a case study of production scheduling problem for metalworking workshop in a plant is simulated. The experimental resultsshow the relationship between the makespan and the energy consumption is apparently conflicting. Moreover, an energy saving decision is performed in a feasible scheduling. Using the decision method, there can be a significant potential to minimize energy consumption while complying with the conflicting relationship.

Nowadays fully integrated enterprises are being replaced by business networks in which each participant provides others with specialized services. As a result, the Service Oriented Manufacturing Systems emerges. These systems are complex and hard to engineer. The main source of complexity is the number of different technologies, standards, functions, protocols, and execution environments that must be integrated in order to realize them. This paper proposes a framework and associated engineering approach for assisting the system developers of Service Oriented Manufacturing Systems. The approach combines Multi-agent system with Service Oriented Architectures for the development of intelligent automation control and execution of manufacturing systems.
