Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the use of real-time simulations for more effective production scheduling in flexible manufacturing systems (FMS). The author, a leading expert in this field, argues that traditional scheduling techniques are inadequate for dealing with the unexpected delays and dynamic nature of FMS. The book presents a novel approach that utilizes concurrent simulations initialized to the current system state, allowing for real-time scheduling decisions. Detailed discussions on data requirements, statistical analysis, and optimization methods provide a comprehensive guide for implementing this approach in practice. The book's insights offer a significant contribution to the field of FMS scheduling, empowering manufacturers to optimize their production processes, reduce costs, and enhance overall efficiency.
