Abstract
This paper deals with a real-time scheduling system of the Holonic Manufacturing Systems (HMSs). In the previous papers, real-time scheduling processes based on the utility values have been proposed and applied to the HMSs. A simulation based procedure has also been implemented to estimate the future status of HMSs and to determine the utility values aiming at improving scheduling method. However, it was assumed that only one holon in the HMSs carries out the estimation, in the previous research, for the ease of the estimation process. A simulation based real-time scheduling method is newly proposed, in the paper, to improve the objective function values by estimating the future status of HMSs by all the holons. Some case studies of the real-time scheduling are carried out to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
