Multiagent framework for lean manufacturing
IEEE Internet Computing, 1999We have developed the manufacturing agent-based emulation system as an open framework for design and analysis of discrete manufacturing systems. MABES currently supports the transition from traditional to lean manufacturing in two major functions: analysis of alternative agent-based scheduling and control approaches that can be implemented across the ...
