Abstract

Most of the current academic flexible manufacturing system (FMS) scheduling research has focused on the derivation of algorithms or knowledge-based techniques for efficient FMS real-time control. Here, the limitations of this view are outlined with respect to effective control of actual real-time FMS operation. A more realistic paradigm for real-time FMS control is presented, based on explicit engineering of human and automated control functions and system interfaces. To illustrate design principles within the conceptual model, an example of algorithmic and operator function models for a specific real-time FMS control problem are developed.
