Abstract

Frequent changes or disturbances from customers and suppliers in One-of-a-Kind Production (OKP) make it difficult to schedule and control the production on OKP shop floors. Therefore, the OKP shop floor is normally managed manually and often runs into a fire fighting situation. To solve this problem, an adaptive control structure is introduced in this paper to schedule and control the production on OKP shop floors. This control structure includes a simulation planning model which is built using a novel system modeling tool called temporized hierarchical object-oriented colored Petri net with changeable structure (THOCPN-CS), and a quick scheduling algorithm which aims at minimizing the makespan of a batch of jobs. A case study collected from Gienow Windows and Doors Co. Ltd., Calgary, Canada is also presented at the end of this paper.
