Abstract

Although most real manufacturing systems have dynamic job shop structures, there is no general analytic method that has been found for analyzing them yet and computer simulation is still an outstanding tool. One of the most difficult problems in a dynamic job shop environments is to assign the optimal due dates. Due date assignment is an important task in shop-floor control, affecting both timely delivery and customer satisfaction. The ability to meet the due dates, however, is dependent not only on reasonableness of the due dates but also on the scheduling or dispatching procedures. In this paper, an agent based dynamic job shop simulation system is designed and developed to help the decision makers who have to mainly solve the problems of selecting correct due date assignment models and dispatching rules depending on selected performance criteria in their multi machine dynamic stochastic job shop environment.
