Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research aims to develop a control system that enables a traditional production system, which uses a flow-shop or job-shop process, to complete products just before their due dates, like in a just-in-time production system. We propose a distributed intelligent production control system and a hybrid system model, which successfully removed the restriction to JIT material supply and achieved just-in-time product completion. We also add a design to turn on and turn off machines at suitable times to minimize machine power. By reducing both inventory costs of completed products and energy costs of machine power, this research contributed to the development of low-cost production systems.
