Abstract: Process planning and scheduling are two important manufacturing planning functions which are traditionally performed separately and sequentially. Usually, the process plan has to be prepared first before scheduling can be performed. However, due to the complexity of manufacturing systems and the uncertainties encountered in practical production, the sequentially prepared process plans and schedules may sometimes become inefficient or even infeasible. Integrated process planning and scheduling (IPPS) is a relatively new concept in manufacturing domain, which aims at improving the feasibility and optimality of the respective process plan and schedule, by combining both functions together. Scheduling itself is an NP-hard problem. With the complexity and flexibility involved by the incorporation of process planning function, IPPS is an even more difficult problem which is almost impossible to be solved by traditional optimisation methods. In this thesis, a graphical formulation based on disjunctive AND/OR graphs, as well as a mixed integer programming model are presented for representing IPPS problems. Inspired by the negotiation-based multi-agent system (MAS) and ant colony optimisation (ACO) approaches, a novel hybrid MAS/ACO (HMA) approach is developed for solving IPPS problems. The approach is implemented on an MAS with a number of solution generator agents, each controlling a series of jobs agents and machine agents, negotiating with each other to realise the step-by-step assignment of operations, and finally yielding a feasible solution to the problem. In order to improve the performance, the pheromone accumulation, and evaporation mechanism in ACO are introduced into the negotiation process; the probabilistic and iterative features of ACO are also inherited to make the approach non-deterministic, and hence capable of progressively improving the solution quality as a meta-heuristic. For multi-objective optimisation, correlations between different measures of scheduling problems have been experimentally and statistically studied; makespan and total tardiness are then chosen as the objectives to be simultaneously optimised. Furthermore, other extensions of IPPS including the incorporation of sequence dependent setup times, assembly operations, as well as dynamic rescheduling under disruptions, have also been studied and given solutions with the HMA approach. Experiments have been carried out to select an appropriate parameter set, and to evaluate and illustrate the applicability and effectiveness of the approach. The experimental results show that the HMA approach is a competitive and reliable method for solving IPPS problems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "Increased reliance on agile manufacturing techniques has created a demand for systems to solve integrated process-planning and production-scheduling problems in large-scale dynamic environments. To be effective, these systems should provide user-oriented interactive functionality for managing the various user tasks and objectives and reacting to unexpected events. This paper describes the mixed-initiative problem-solving features of IP3S, an Integrated Process-Planning / Production-Scheduling shell for agile manufacturing. IP3S is a blackboard- based system that supports the concurrent development and dynamic revision of integrated process-planning and production-scheduling solutions and the maintenance of multiple problem instances and solutions, as well as other flexible user-oriented decision-making capabilities, allowing the user to control the scope of the problem and explore alternate tradeoffs ('what- if' scenarios) interactively. The system is scheduled for initial deployment and evaluation in a large and highly dynamic machine shop at Raytheon's Andover manufacturing facility."

Various integrated process planning and scheduling (IPPS) models and solution approaches have been proposed. The previous and existing research approaches are able to demonstrate the feasibility of implementing IPPS. However, most of them assumed that setup time is negligible or only part of the processing time. For machined parts, the setup for each operation includes workpiece loading and unloading, tool change, etc. For setup that depends only on the operation to be processed (sequence-independent), it is applicable to adopt the assumption of not considering setup in IPPS. For setup that depends on both the operation to be processed and the immediately preceding operation (sequence-dependent), it is an oversimplification to adopt such assumption. In such cases, the setup time varies with the sequence of the operations. The process plans and schedules constructed under such assumption are not realistic or not even feasible. In actual practice, therefore, the setup time should be separated from the process time in performing the IPPS functions. In this thesis, a new approach is proposed for IPPS problems with setup time consideration for machined parts. Inseparable and sequence-dependent setup requirements are added into the IPPS problems. The setup times are separated from the process times and they vary with the sequence of the operations. IPPS is regarded as NP-hard problem. With the separated consideration of setup times, it becomes even more complicated. An Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) approach is proposed to handle this complicated problem. The system is constructed under a multi-agent system (MAS). AND/OR graph is used to record the set of feasible production procedures and sequences. The ACO algorithm computes results by an autocatalytic process with the objective to minimize the makespan. Software agents called "artificial ants" traverse through the feasible routes in the graph and finally construct a schedule. A setup time parameter is added into the algorithm to influence the ants to select the process with less setup time. The approach is able to construct a feasible solution with less setup time. Experimental studies have been performed to evaluate the performance of MAS-ACO approach in solving IPPS problems with separated consideration of setup times. The experimental results show that the MAS-ACO approach can effectively handle the problem.

Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled An Agent-Based Approach for Integrating Process Planning and Scheduling Submitted by David Chun Wai Leung for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Hong Kong August 2006 Conventionally, manufacturing process planning and scheduling functions are performed separately and sequentially. In general, process plans have to be determined prior to scheduling. Due to the complexity of manufacturing systems, process plans and schedules may easily become inefficient or even infeasible. In this respect, integrated process planning and scheduling (IPPS) plays an important role in the generation of feasible process plans and optimal schedules. With IPPS, the process plan for producing a part and its operations' schedule are determined concurrently, taking into account process planning flexibilities and scheduling requirements. This integrative approach can address the actual and practical needs of industry, but due to the flexibilities in the manufacturing systems IPPS is a very complex problem. This thesis presents an agent-based approach for integrating process planning with scheduling. Firstly, a simple multi-agent system (MAS) architecture using the Multi-Agent Negotiation (MAN) approach is proposed to solve IPPS problems. Under MAN, part agents (PAs) and machine agents (MAs), which represent parts and machines respectively, determine the actual process plan and schedule via a currency-based negotiation. Each PA is given with an AND/OR graph recording all flexible routings and alternative machines of a product. It enters the system with some fictitious currency incorporating important IPPS parameters including processing time and due date and bargains with MAs to purchase their processing capability. These agents aim to achieve their individual objectives so as to minimize the parts' flowtimes and to maximize machine utilization. A contract-net based negotiation protocol is introduced to coordinate their negotiation. A hybrid MAS architecture using Hybrid-based Agent Negotiation (HAN) approach is then proposed to improve the global objectives of IPPS. HAN is similar to MAN except that a supervisory agent (SA) is added. The primary role of the SA is to observe and guarantee the global objectives which are neglected in MAN. The SA can access and intervene in the local decisions made by the local agents. A hybrid contract net negotiation protocol is established to facilitate negotiations in HAN. Dynamic process planning and rescheduling problems have also been addressed. Online Multi-Agent Negotiation (oMAN) and Online Hybrid-based Agent Negotiation (oHAN) are established to solve the dynamic IPPS problems based on MAN and HAN respectively. Two types of disturbances (machine breakdowns and rush order arrivals) are investigated. A simulated manufacturing system is established to evaluate the effectiveness of MAN and HAN and oMAN and oHAN approaches. Simulation results show that the performance of these methods exceeds that of an evolutionary algorithm in general. On the other hand, in terms of achieving the global objectives, the hybrid approaches HAN and oHAN are the most effective, outperforming MAN and oMAN respectively. Finally, a search-based Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm is proposed and is incorporated into the established MAS platform. Artificial ants are implemented as software agents. A graph-based solution method is pr

Download or read book Modified Hopfield Networks for Integrated Process Planning and Scheduling written by Suriya Jirasatitsin and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In production systems, process planning and scheduling are the two core functions that must be implemented before starting a production. The process planning generates a suitable process plan for each part that indicates the sequences of machining operations of the part, and the suitable machines and tools for that operations. This plan depends on the available manufacturing resources and their operation time. The scheduling, then, specifies the timetable of each operation from the process plans' information. A significant conflict during the scheduling process is that some determined resources are not valid or overloaded because the process planning intentionally specifies the machines that make the least manufacturing cost. Therefore, it is time-consuming to re-schedule or search for a feasible solution that agree to the constraints of both process planning and scheduling. Integrated process planning and scheduling is a trend of modern manufacturing systems that would improve production in more flexible ways and overcome the disadvantages of conventional procedures of process planning and scheduling. It is mostly solved the integrated approach by using various metaheuristics algorithms. Hopfield networks, in literature, show effective results in scheduling and can be implemented in hardware level that has the computation powers and speed over the digital computations. Otherwise, the analog computation has no iteration and obtain a real-time solution. However, the Hopfield network is a local minimization method with slow convergence by its gradient descent algorithm. Some modifications of Hopfield network should lead to a fast convergence and global optimization problem. This thesis presents two original and novel Hopfield neural networks architectures. One of the proposed Hopfield neural networks modifies the standard Hopfield Network by ii properly incorporating the Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno (BFGS) unconstrained optimization algorithm. The second proposed Hopfield network is based on properly incorporating the Nazareth unconstrained optimization algorithm in the standard Hopfield network. One important issue to be investigated is the convergence speed of these two novel Artificial Networks with respect to the convergence of the standard Artificial Hopfield Network. The proposed model uses analog integrators to follow the traditional algorithms of BFGS and Nazareth algorithms. The algorithms can be modeled by using simple analog circuits, such as integrators, multipliers, and adders. The proposed algorithms show a significant increase in the convergence speed of modified Hopfield networks compared to the standard one. Also noise and adaptive learning parameter technique are integrated to the modified Hopfield networks for global optimization. To test and compare the effectiveness of the proposed Networks, they are implemented on the solution of an integrated process planning and scheduling (IPPS) problem, which is a nondeterministic polynomial time problem (NP-hard). Moreover, here, it is treated under a novel formulation and to represent a modern manufacturing approach.
