Abstract:
In this paper we present a novel formulation for analysis and performance optimisation of flexible manufacturing systems. We approximately represent the dynamics of the system with a hybrid model and derive an optimum control strategy for part routing and machine scheduling. We show that the system can be described with a single formalism as a stochastic discrete time, time-varying, state variable model which allows fast and direct design of the system configuration.
