Title
Multiagent Approach for Supply Chain Integration by Distributed Production Planning, Scheduling and Control System
Abstract
The changing business environment in which manufacturers are acting creates the need for more effective production processes planning, scheduling and control methods that are able to deal with uncertainties inherent in internal processes and external deliveries. The aim of the paper is to introduce the multiagent approach method for production planning, scheduling and control applicable in conditions of supply chain (SC) able to overcome the limitation of standard MRP/ERP systems in changing environment. Traditional approaches very often do not consider the influence of uncertainty inherent in production processes and supplies. Therefore, there is a need for the integration of manufacturing process planning, scheduling and control systems for generating more realistic and effective plans. Conceptual framework for the multiagent approach method involves the hybrid solutions combining the advantages of MRP simple logic and theory of constrains (TOC) ability to synchronize all production and material flow in supply chain. Authors discuss how application of TOC buffers monitoring procedures can help to improve the control of synchronized production and material flow in supply chain.
