Abstract:This paper approaches a scheduling problem where a flexible manufacturing system in continuous production receives a new production demand. An algorithm is proposed to find chains of events that minimize the total makespan and the new demand makespan. The solution search universe is the closed loop behavior of the system, obtained through the Supervisory Control Theory and, therefore, ensures that the sequences are logically feasible and safe. In addition, temporal information is added, also ensuring the tempo… Show more
