Outline of Final Research Achievements

For highly-distributed manufacturing systems, a set of methods of production scheduling have been developed, where scheduling based on priority rules is performed only by message exchanges among facilities and local decision makings in each facility. A method for using the scheduling methods and the highly-distributed simulation method in tandem has been also developed for seamless detailed evaluation of the generated schedule. These accomplishments have realized a new environment of production management, where a planner adjusts the priority rules and the highly-distributed manufacturing system by itself generates a production schedule based on the rules and evaluates the schedule by performing simulation.
