RESEARCH
Projekt:
Learning and Self-Organization in Production Planning and Control
The goal of this research project is to explore new ways to utilize self-organization in production and in-house logistics, allowing on-line adaptation to stochastic events such as varying processing times, new job arrivals, or machine breakdowns. Three main avenues towards this goal shall be examined:
1. Evolve and continuously adapt local control rules, tailored to the specific situation in the production system.
2. Provide the local agents with additional global information and globally derived solutions to enhance coordination and achievement of global goals.
3. Develop means to monitor and control self-organizing production systems.
